Articles labeled: stabbed in the eyes

The amount of violence against children in this country is staggering. Sometimes I lament over middle-eastern countries and how they can strap bombs to their children in praise of their pending murder/suicides, yet look at all the crazy people in this country commiting heinous crimes against children? And an autistic boy? This act has left him blind. What a cowardly act, to torture a special needs child.

This country needs to get rid of the insanity defense. This is inexusable.

LAUDERHILL, Fla. — Lauderhill police said a family member stabbed a 12-year-old autistic boy in both eyes with a dagger.

Police said his aunt stabbed him at a home on Northwest 53rd Street about 1 a.m. Friday, but the family waited about 10 hours before notifying authorities.
