Parents: Dying Girl Kathleen Edward Taunted By Neighbors In Trenton (http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/the_edge/dying-girl-taunted-by-neighbors-in-trenton - broken link)
This is typical lack of empathy or any compassion for a sick child.
Whether we want to admit it or not this happens everyday.
People can be very cruel, just look at how many young people are committing suicide because of the sick taunting & embarrassment on these social networks.
This woman should be prosecuted for a 'hate crime'.

I don't know if I'd call it a 'hate crime' but it certainly should be some kind of crime for anyone to treat a dying person, child or otherwise, in such a manner. I'm still sitting here with tears in my eyes for this child.
Unreal... I'm far from a "turn the other cheek" type of guy and I can't think of anything (including murder, rape, assault, etc...) someone could do to my family or myself to cause me to hate them enough to taunt their dying child.
When I see stuff like this it really makes me realise how much humanity sucks. It also makes me hope that hell is real and that there is a place in hell for these people.
