You trolling? It never ceases to amaze me that people who read a blog post suddenly form hard lined opinions about a real world situation.
To me, it's a bit sociopath-like to be so vindictive about a situation that you know next to nothing about. What's the relationship between the poster and the kid? He most likely knows the boy's past, he knows the family, and yet it's all too easy to forget all that and condemn someone.
If only there were more people in the world like the OP, and less knee jerkers.
