CECIL COUNTY, MD (October 15, 2014) – This kid won’t be scarred for life unless his parents wear out his backside with a switch as his name is not released to the public. Whether he will be torturing animals or tying up his friends to cut them remains to be seen in the future. For now, he is simply a pyromaniac with a future potential of either being a star magician in Las Vegas or having a career in politics.
