There was not only the absence of no value to these young people, the intended cruelty
is so screwed up..it was sadistic by design.

What the hell was a 6 year old doing there? Disturbing history, and the story should lead
to what we have now, incarcerating so many of our youth..as if they are being treated
much better? We pay lip service to Americas children, on many levels.
