NB: I OPTED TO PUT THIS PICTURES UP SO THAT PEOPLE CAN KNOW THE EXTENT OF THIS YOUNG BOY'S BURNS.
In this day and age, it is amazing to see that people still act like barbarians. It is so amazing when I hear some things going on in the world today. Just recently, we heard about Youssif, the 5year old Iraqi boy who was set ablaze by some men in Iraq. Such stories are stories you think will never happen in this precious world of ours.
Young Youssif was playing outside his house when he was doused with gas and set on fire. What would make anybody in his right frame of mind set a young, innocent boy on fire?Looking at a picture of the boy just before he was set on fire and pictures after, one will almost be moved to tears. If not for kind hearted people around, this boy who was born with no deformity whatsoever would have to live the rest of his life with the terrible scars of this callous act. I would have to commend the nongovernmental organization Children's Burn Foundation which paid for the family's trip to America and is also footing the bills of the operation. Also, not to forget the brilliant medical staff who took part in the complicated medical procedure.
A food for thought: Let us all live in peace with one another and not act callous towards one another. Let us not hold grudges toward one another.

This turns my stomach. As a mother of a four-year old... I couldn't even fathom something happenening to her, much less actually wanting to hurt a child or another body? NO. It's sick.
