i'm against hitting kids but damn kids who bully a boy who lost his legs is beyond evil.... sadly some kids are really in need of some feet into their a****. then there are adult people who say "They are kids they don't know what they say" dude... they know exactly what they say and they don't need to fear consequences. here in my country, you can't be criminal responsibility until the age of 14 and teens abuse this..
