This mom reminded us of how to deal with tragedy and call for justice in one swoop.
Earlier this month, 10-year old Kayden Culp was doused with gasoline and set on fire by other students in his home state of Texas after being lured into a shack, Fox News reported.

The young man called for justice before being put into an induced comma on Sunday.
Saying, “he hurt me. He set me on fire. He needs to go to jail.”
The young child has first and second degree burns over almost a quarter of his body.

At this time, three children between nine and eleven years old are considered suspects.
On Wednesday, they were taken into custody and are now facing a first-degree arson charge as juveniles.
The Aunt of the special needs child, Tanya Kasper said,“We want to keep in mind that these are kids, and they do need help.”
“We just want the proper justice done,” the woman said, who also pointed out that, Culp’s developmental difficulties and hyper activity made him an easy target.
“It was hard for us to allow him to go play.”
“He wasn’t a regular 10 year old; you didn’t know who really had good intentions for him.”
The family of Cayden had created a YouCaring page to help with medical expenses. The goal was $10,000 but that has been surpassed and over $200,000 has been raised.
