Sodomized and left for dead

But wait unit you find out why. It seems that two teenagers decided that the crime of a Hispanic boy kissing a white girl (not the fact that she was 12 and the Hispanic boy 16) warranted not only a beating, but rape with a metal pipe. (I can only imagine the hits I'll get with that search string.) Perhaps after watching CSI or the like, the got the idea that they should destroy DNA evidence by pouring bleach on the boy. Who the fuck does this? Psychopaths. Or is it sociopaths? Anyway, the attack was so bad that the victim is not expected to live. Naturally, I have questions.

  1. How was he not discovered for 12 hours? Whose party was this? Whose HOUSE was this? Who discovered the kid? Didn't ANYONE realize that he had disappeared?
  2. Parents? Hello? What was a 12-year-old doing at a party with 18 year-olds?
  3. "Spring is a middle-class, largely white suburb of 36,000 residents, located about 10 miles north of the Houston city line. " Is this where I am supposed to understand that this is not the type of thing to happen in largely white, middle-class suburbs? Is the story now THAT much more chilling?
  4. You are allowed to print the names of offenders under the age of 18 in Texas? I didn't know that.

    UPDATE: Apparently that is done in Canada as well. The 12-year-old girl implicated in the Richardson family slaying last weekend had her name published in the Calgary Sun, although I am told that it isn't easy to find her name now. At the risk of splitting this post in two...nah, I make another post later.
