I saw this on the news - words fail me

Aw. Bet he was someone's pride and joy. That just breaks my heart.

Hearbreaking. Sleep well little boy, love to you from us x.

This is just so awful, i live in the next town to Bury and it just seems so close to home, his poor family

This is so sad He had cystic fibrosis and his parents raised the alarm as he was late for his meds My ds is 11 and walks home from school it has really upset me

Is there any chance at all that it will turn out Joe died of natural causes (hypothermia?) and the silly teen he was hanging out with just panicked? Is it definitely murder? :(
Our neighbours have an older teenage son with CF and I know how much family effort is invested 24/7 in keeping him healthy and well.
The poor Geelings.

so so

Poor, poor family. To have a child missing overnight...and this ending. Poor poor people.

I was in tears about it when reading the story in the Indy this morning, what a lovely little lad he looked.
And I have a boy the same age and it just really makes you want to really protect them all over again
I am so so sad for his parents and for the parents of the boy that has done this. A devastating tragedy.
I am fairly sure it was murder as the police said he was beaten beyod being easily identifiable and was hidden in a 10 ft gully - that was in the Indy this morning.
I too had hoped it was something innocent until I read that.
Gutting....

:(

I cant even read the story, makes me sick im gutted

One of my best friends has CF, his closet mate from the hospital who also has CF died last week aged 13.

I pray for his parents
