The "shackled teen" abuse case in Tracy, CA | littleduckie's Blog

I just found a story about some high school students in Tracy, California, raising money to buy Christmas gifts for a teenager who recently escaped after being kidnapped, chained up, and apparently tortured.  The article and links to previous articles about the case can be found at:

I will never understand what makes people do things like this.  The article mentions that two other funds have been set up to help this young man if you're interested in contributing (and able to -- I wish I could).

I'll never understand it either. :/ It's nice how they wanted to help the kid, though.
