So we should excuse them?

Yes, by all means, it wasn't really their fault after all.

Maybe Justice Kennedy could adopt these little angels and help them find their humanity.

This is very sad story. My heart goes out to these poor boys.

But they should be put down like sheep-killing dogs.

Can't you just see the tear drops fall from the eyes of the reporters as they typed this? Poor little things, they are as they are because of their upbringing.

Well, you can see that the DA made it all better. He prosecuted the kids' fathers for failure to pay child support while they were in jail.

With such brilliance handling this case, you wonder WHERE it could have possibly gone wrong?

As long as he slept with one eye open, he'd be perfectly fine living with them.

I guess many women just fail to realize that genes are important. I don't understand it. Behaviors and tendencies can be inherited. We don't know exactly what makes a criminal, but clearly something IN THAT PERSON does as we can have two people in the same environment, one turns to crime, the other struggles and makes something of himself.

Since when does no child support force a woman to go on welfare?? I worked my butt off and supported my daughter without one dime from the government. What a pitiful excuse.

"Maybe Justice Kennedy could adopt these little angels and help them find their humanity."

THIS solution gets my vote!

you missed the jab at "failed to pay child support" father.

the checkbook had a felony too.

I bet more in depth checking on their fathers will find they are single fathers too.

HOW much longer before the democrats say that a disproportionate of jury convictions affect democrats? That police intentionally arrest democrats more than republicans and democrats are "political prisoners".

We live in a society where kids are spoonfed MTV, Hollywood violence, and the notion that you're not responsible for your actions. Rap song lyrics celebrate violence, esp. toward women. Kids' fashions include pants with no belts...'the jailin' look. In jail your belt is taken away, hence the pants falling down look.

Take the Ten Commandments and God out of our culture, why should we be surprised at the result? Plus, if we know anything, it's that lawlessness and violence is learned behavior. Think about it. The deepest rut in your brain is what you learned at your mother's knee...what she said, yelled, when you were bad or drove her crazy. Years later you find yourself lecturing your own five year old that his/her face will freeze in that expression. So when kids who've been molested get angry (and God knows they have a lot of pent up rage), they tend to molest another child. If they've seen their father beat their mother, they learn that's acceptable behavior. It's a terrible cycle. Women who put up with abuse need to understand what their children are learning. They'll repeat that behavior and worse.

Another aspect to all this social engineering is that if kids go into the 'system', foster care or a state run institution, even a psychiatric facility, they never emerge as the kids you knew. They've been exposed to far worse than whatever they did/endured in the first place, and they've bonded with other perhaps far more violent individuals.

"The boy is the second oldest in a family of six children." "...she had no other income."
GREAT! Six kids and no means of support!! Un-Freakin'-Believable! If you can't support 'em, don't have 'em! GGGRRRR!!
