A little kid was set on fire by other little kids. WTF?

Two more boys face judge on charges in burning of Deerfield 15-year-old:

"Two 15-year-old boys appeared in court this morning on charges they set a Deerfield Beach boy on fire because of what authorities said was a squabble involving a video game and a bicycle.

Steven Sheldon and Jesus Mendez, both 15, are charged with aggravated battery.

Mendez, who authorities say took a lighter from his pocket and flicked it at a teen drenched in rubbing alcohol Monday, is also charged with attempted second-degree murder.

Three other boys -- Denver Colorado Jarvis, 15, and his 13-year-old brother Jeremy; and Matthew Bent, 15 -- appeared in court Tuesday and are charged with aggravated battery.

The 15-year-old victim, Michael Brewer, is in critical condition at University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Burn Center.


I'd love to see what their parents are like.
