you got rocks in your head if you think public humiliation has saved anybody here.
i predict the hate will boil up inside this kid and he'll go further off track then when he was acting.
he'll resent this for a looooong time.
lotsa people carry hatred from beatings into their adult life.
often it ends in disaster. humans just dont respond to that shit...pain is temporary- a lesson is permanent. heck, if i could rob a bank and just get some serious pain for a few hours, but come out financially well off- id do it.
True, but this young kid obviously is living in a dream world making up lies and what not. If the kid goes off the deep end, it won't be because his uncle brought some truth into his world. It will be because he was already to far gone to begin with.
