sorry, i forgot there was a video in it, i cant edit that part out now lol
i just cant as a parent and HUMAN BEING understand how someone could do this to someone else. these kids should ALL be sent to ADULT prison for this! im glad the one who actually lit him on fire is being charged with attempted murder, but i think the rest should be charged with something more than what they are. this 15yo boy could DIE from this..over a video game and a bike?? really? i hope the parents feel like the complete failures they are.
ill tell ya, if you click the link to listen to the whole 911 call, it is VERY disturbing, the boys screams made ME cry (and im pretty tough)
Michael Brewer Screams on 911 Tape as He's Set Ablaze
MIAMI (Oct. 16) -- A teen who police say was set ablaze by five other boys screamed in agony as a breathless 911 caller pleaded for help because "a little boy just caught on fire," according to a recording released Friday.
In the most dramatic of four emergency calls released by the Broward County Sheriff's Office, the relentless, guttural cries of 15-year-old Michael Brewer often drown out the woman who is dialing dispatchers.

"A little boy just caught on fire!" the unidentified woman says, barely able to catch her breath to give her address.
Prompted by the dispatcher during the eight-minute call, the woman asks the boy, "How did this happen?" He cries: "I don't know! I don't know!" Paramedics later ask him who is responsible for his burns, but he again says he doesn't know.
In a second call made by another woman, the dispatcher asks: "They put gas on him and they lit him on fire?" She replies: "Uh-huh."
In all, authorities recorded calls totaling 28 minutes — some rather calm, detached reporting of the facts, while the boy's anguish is evident in others.
Five teens are charged with aggravated battery in Brewer's burning Monday at a Deerfield Beach apartment complex, which authorities said was prompted by a dispute over a video game that escalated when someone tried to steal a bicycle that belonged to the boy's father.
The teen accused of flicking the lighter after Brewer was doused with rubbing alcohol also faces an attempted second-degree murder charge. All of the teens face the possibility of having their cases moved to adult court.
Brewer's doctor said he is doing as well as can be expected but faces years of skin grafts, therapy and surgery, and that potentially fatal organ failure and infections are common in cases so severe.

I can't stop thinking about this story since I heard about it yesterday. It makes me sick to my stomach. How could anyone do that to another human being? It is so disturbing. I think all of those boys should be tried as adults and be locked up for a long time. I hope the parents of these kids are ashamed of themselves. I can't imagine what that poor boy and his mother are going through.
Ya know, I heard about this and it broke my heart. If my kid was one of the ones involved though, they'd never make it to juvie or adult prison. I'd kill 'em before they had the chance.
exactly. and im sure youll hear all the "hes never done anything like this before, hes a good kid" crap from them. just a cop out so they dont have to feel accountable for their crappy kids actions!
OMG.
Kids are cruel. This is pure evil. What bunch of kids would think of taking rubbing alcohol and decide to put a kid on fire over a bike and video game?????????
Holy crap.
How sad. People have really lost it, haven't they?

It is so terrifying how sick and twisted such young kids can be. I can't even wrap my head around this. Pure evil. My heart absolutely aches for that boy and his family. I can't even imagine the heartbreak they are feeling. I hope that the ones responsible are tried as adults.
I mean "some" cases not "same"
