A 13 yr. old boy receives a fractured skullafter being repeatedly kicked in the head,

by five 16-17 yr. old boys

At a Highland high school football game vs. Bountiful

Five days later, the boy has a five hour long reconstructive surgery

Doctors say one inch lower, hewould have lost his eye, one inch higher

and he would have lost his life

Just because he “said” something about someone else

What is being done?

The five boys were put in custody

If there are felonies associated with the assault, the boys will be tried as adults

What will YOU do?
