I told him he should feel sorry for that kid because it's obvious that although he is not physically handicapped like you, there is something unseen that is really broken inside that kid.

You know, I hate to sound like some touchy-feely "everybody's a victim" type, but I do have a twinge of pity for that kid. I don't know what kind of environment it takes to make a kid that broken (thank god!), but when you think about it that kid is headed for much, much worse than a beatdown. If he's this disturbed at age 11, I'd guess he's the one more in danger of not making it past 21.

And while I rationally know that beating his parents won't actually solve anything, I do sorely feel the visceral desire for whoever broke this little shite to suffer greatly.
