What is wrong with kids these days?

Here is another story I ran across yesterday that just tore me up inside...Teen gets 20 years for gang rape of woman, son

You may not feel comfortable reading this article, so I'll fill you in a bit with the devistating facts about this story.


"A woman told police that as many as 10 masked teens accosted her and her 12-year-old son in their apartment in a housing project, the proceeded to rape and sodomize the mother, forcing her at gunpoint to perform oral sex on her son, and beating both of them".


This is straight out of the story on MSNBC.com


Ten teenagers! Only 4 have been identified so far - 18, 17, 16 and 14. Hopefully they will get tried as adults for the terrible things they put this family through.


This also makes me wonder what the teens themselves who committed these crimes have been through. You want to feel some sympathy for them at times, but then again, they are old enough to know right from wrong. They knew what they were doing, and for that they should be punished.
