...on the state of things in the world today. It seems there is little concern or regard for each other. I don't if it is happening because parents are not teaching compassion and decency by example and direction, or if the violence and lack of morality that exists in many video games and computer games, not to mention movies and TV shows are influencing our young people--and not so young--to act with such lack of feelings for another human being. Perhaps it is all the above. At any rate, it is a very sad thing. The torture and abuse of innocent children that is also happening at an alarming rate is beyond my comprehension. It is a very sad thing.

what's the verdict on the other teenager who was the participant in this? Sounded like only one teen was convicted?

How can someone do such an evil deed like this to anyone? There is no joy in making someone suffer. There is only joy in rendering help and uplifting each other.

Please read the article again. This is the last sentence. He is the other person involved.

"Nagle's sentencing is set for Oct. 14. He could receive up to 59 years in prison."
