Oh, gross. That poor little boy; and the kids who found him! Why do people find children to be disposable? And pets...

Some people are just horrible.

No, but I'm adding that to my Netflix queue.

It did sort of make me think of "I'm Not Scared."

It's been all over the news here- this morning it was confirmed that it was the body of a boy between four and eight years old. An autopsy will be carried out today to determine (if possible the cause of death).

I feel so sorry for the poor little mite- there have been no reports of child in his age bracket missing in the time frame of his possible death. He probably lived his life being unwanted and barely cared about. The children who found him are recieiving councilling today and will be given government funded assistance for as long as they require councilling assistance.

I'm a primary school teacher- because I'm a specialist teacher I teach groups of different kids all day- from K-6. So far three different groups have mentioned hearing it in the news. I've had to go off topic a lot today to discuss their thoughts and fears about it. It's all just so horrible.
