A 10-year-old boy was convicted Thursday in the beating of a homeless Army veteran that left the man so severely injured he required reconstructive surgery.
Prosecutors say the boy, another 10-year-old and Jeremy Woods, 17, ganged up on John D'Amico, 58, as he and a friend walked through a Daytona Beach neighborhood on March 27. The older man was beaten and stoned with a concrete block.

I can't say it's kids today, because kids who do good things seldom make the news, but what is wrong with these kids who do stuff like this? I feel so badly for this poor man. Defends his country, obviously comes back with some problems, and then the system lets him down so he's homeless, and now this. Poor. Poor man. I hope they give all three of those boys the max sentence and community service at the VA.
