horrible news about 3 boys and 1 girl who are playmates...

All i can say Really sad and may God help us and guide Us

Oh my goodness. what a horrible news. How children of that age can act like this. it seems children are becoming more violent and all the evil effects are on them.Poor girl. what a horrible time she had!

that is sooo sad oh my i cant belive it . isnt it sad how are children are thinking these days. what do we teach them . better yet what are they seeing?

its reall sad to hear about such an incident.its really an heart breaking news.i mean i really imagine that the 5 year old girl being raped by the boys of same age.there is definately something wrong and we as human being should try our best to overcome it.since nowadays even the tv serials and movies are showing things that they really should not show.i mean there is no use to show sxx in them.since many a times children see it and they really feel curios to know as to what is it.and with the company of few other boys of their age they do it.media as a whole needs to be a bit more cautious regarding this.

i just hope the kids aren't punished too hard for what just seems to be a minor mistake.yeah,they are too innocent.i think they were not aware of the kind and magnitude of the crime,perhaps not even aware that its wrong in the first place..so it just makes it a minor mistake with some major consequenses..they should be educated.i think parents should educate kids about things like these-like touching and others touch private parts of body is a strict no.

you know now in days you can find anything inthe news it's not really surprizing anymore. the question i ask myself is where is the worl headed if the innocens of a child is gone can you just imagin what an adult is capable of doing???

This sounds so horrible and incredible. I wonder what kind of environment these boys were raised in to do this to this little girl. Children that age should not know about these things. But we are all born with original sin, and although most of us would never had thought of doing such when we were children - others are brought up in an atmosphere where they see s*xual deviation every day, and see their mothers bring in different men, and perform the dirty deed all the time. That is why we have to protect children from adult things and perversions. I do not know what kind of punishments should they give these boys, but I would say taking them away from their parents would be the first step.

Wow, thats all i can say. Wow

Simply sick.... I blame the parents, I know it's an easy thing to do but we need to teach them right and wrong and if they don't listen then you need to get touch. I'd take the blame if my son did anything wrong, I know it's pretty much out of our hands when they're older but five years old? Geez.. poor little thing :( ~Joey

saw the news also i have a 7 year old daughter also hearing the news in tv this mrning got me freaked out the boys ages were 13 10 and 7 i was surprised that a seven year old had a part on it too. I would still blame those things on the 13 year old i thik who might have masterminded everything

Your right this is horab;e news, but the first and only question that comes to my mind is why were 5 year olds playing outside alone to begin with??

how horrible,no wonder you are so upset.that poor little girl .it does want to make you cry.how that little girl and mother must feel.it will be a long and hard healing process for all concerned.how do you punish the 5 years old boys i wonder,and where did these boys know the stuff that they were doing. it makes me wonder whats going on in this world.thanks for sharing.cheers sue

I was in shock reading this that the boys were at the possible same age it's not so shocking when you read something like this and it's older men or boy that are in highschool. I think that society needs to take a long look at what the children use to behave like and how they do now. A lot of the time the government has interferred with parenting setting rule of what you can and can't do to discipline your child. I'm not saying that we should have the right to beat the ever loving daylights out of our kids, But I know that most of you remember when we were young and we did something we got a good smack to the behind and we never did it agian. We can't even do that anymore. So I believe that is about a quarter of the problem, also I think it's that parents don't pay attention to their children as much as they use to becuase now more and more you have to have both parents working which limits their involvement with their kids. It's truly sad, that this happen and I can't even imagine what this mother and child are going through but I think that this should shwo us that we need to tighten the raeigns a little and be more aware of our children. I remember when I was 6 I was able to wasl down the street to the my friends house. I wouldn't dream of letting my child do that now. I remember running all over the place with out a chaperone and now I wouldn't even think of letting it happen so much has changed in the way the world is in such a short period of time you wonder what has happened and what factors are the reason for it. I think as a parent we do our best and try and teach the kids right from wrong , we lead by exampe and above all else be active in their life. I may keep a tight leash on my kids but I know where and what each of them is doing. I feel for the families that this has affected and hope that girl and mother can get throught this though it will be a long and hard journey. I wouldn't even know what kind of punishment to give 3 5yr old boys for this kind of crime they definitely need some mental help and if they were older I would be alot more harsher and I'm still holding my toungue because of the outrage I feel over this.

Um...ugh...I can't believe that. That is why I try not to watch the news and make sure that my children don't watch anything that would have any kind of content like that in it. I hate to think that I am sheltering them, but at 2 and 5, they just don't need to know that those things exist in our world. I believe that parents need to take the responsiblity to "raise" their children and make sure that they know how to treat other people. They say that children learn from what they see and hear. Maybe so. Or maybe it's not hearing right and wrong and love. I just hope that we are raising our 2 girls in such a way that they never know violence like that. I want my girls to be able to stand tall and take care of themselves and never be afraid to speak up if they see something or experience something that they know is wrong.

first and foremost for us would be to behave responsibly as parents. Many a times we watch something on TV, or keep an offensive page in a magazine lying open or discuss with our friends or spouse about things which a child should not know. We ignore the child roaming around us, thinking that the child is busy in its own world. But no, children are sharper than adults and they pick up everything. So the way we behave at home, really shapes the beliefs and understandings of our children.

ohoo :O

I may say that parents is responsible also for what happened to the girl as well as to the boys. Parents should always be on the guard on the children especially when they are playing. I myself had a daughter and a son. Whenever they are not in my sight I will call them, or if ever they are playing I will make sure that they are in an open ground or space where everyone can see them. Or maybe some parents are really irresponsible, they are tired of following and caring for their children. Well, my heart breaks for the little girl and for the mother. But really some kids are very malicious and uncontrollable. I wonder how do their parents bring them up. Maybe watching TV and DVDs are one of the influences and parents forgot to monitor the program the kids are watching.. .

I think that it all depends on a child's up bringing and what kind of stuff they see on tv. That little girl didn't deserve that but what can you do those kids are at the age that they never even knew that it was wrong to do in the first place but I do think that they need a lot of professional help though to make sure that they don't do something like that again in the future when they are older.
