Hope they execute the scumbag.

 

[Treefrog]

What the hell. Who would do this?

 

[MarkMclovin]

Urgh.

Can they be fixed then? I mean if things like this happen for trafficking, then they can be fixed to an extent, right?

 

[The Faceless Master]

why did i read this thread?

no dust, no onions, no excuses, i'm just crying, this is so fucking sad

 

[killer rin]

Man is this just depressing to read.

 

[RoH]

Just stating the facts ma'am

Good stuff, and that would be sir, but I work for a living so just call me R.E. g.

 

[Jackben]

Because I totally needed to see this on the off-topic this morning.

I thought we had a moratorium on needlessly depressing/gore news on the OT? And punning in the OP of your own thread is pathetic.

Furthermore we already had this thread yesterday: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=663085.

You need to brush up on your search skills and thread making ethics, OP.

Sad situation all around but it feels wrong that the parents have decided to lie to him.

The person responsible for this deserves a special kind of punishment.

Of course her eyes should be removed, but they should also take here hearing and slice her spine leaving her a blind, deaf quadriplegic. THAT would be a fitting punishment.

Is there even any sort of discussion that can be had here? I mean if all anyone can do is post reactions of shock and horror, what's the point of even making a thread about it?

What is the point of watching the news everyday?

I've already made it clear I didn't try to make a pun. That's not my style and I would never do it in an OP on a tragedy like this. Never have, never will, and didn't here.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I may be totally in the dark here, but I had no clue that organ traffickers would do something like that if it is actually what happened. How insane that is.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

What horrible thing to happen.
It makes me wonder what would motivate a person to do such a thing?
Makes me wish the bionic eye was a reality, for patients like this poor kid.

 

[davepoobond]

what in the fuck

 

[Dark Octave]

The only "good" news is that he's young enough that he'll adjust easier than an older person would.

But still...damn.

 

[Downhome]

This may be a stupid question, but here it goes.

If you have an eye removed like this, is it at all possible to reattach it within a period of time or is it a case where the second it is disconnected that is it?

 

[Quackula]

Keeping abreast of current events that have effects that can actually influence your life isn't the same thing as straight up shock and horror.

There isn't anything to discuss with a news story like this. It's just straight up horrible and depressing and nothing else.

 

[VitalNerve]

Damn dude.... This ruined my day.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Jesus christ, give the kid false hope. I know it's hard, but bite the bullet and break the bad news to him already.

It's pretty common in Asian cultures in general to not break the bad news to the patient immediately (if at all) :-/

You cannot get vision back once the optic nerve is damaged.
