Although sick, this isn't really surprising. No doubt that boy suffered extreme emotional pain...But I am left to wonder if he will be able to function normally, as it seems some of the burns were directly on his anus.
I do not think that this was a punishment for messing his pants...I think it's just two sick individuals--who will no doubt try to use insanity or something as a scapegoat--who felt like torturing a child.
The fact they think it's perfectly normal and acceptable to burn a child with a propane torch says something about the way those two were raised--not an excuse, I'm just saying, it could be the case--and their line of thinking...Every single one of my thoughts and prayers go out to this boy.
