Dad injected him with HIV as a baby, he's survived to inspire

[R. Jorgensen]

This article from usaToday is probably one of the most insane yet sensationally inspiring pieces I have ever read.

I'm new at the whole "News" thread format so, if anyone cares to help me along, I'd be more than happy to accept.

I will say that his story is inspiring and I hope he does raise the awareness he is trying to raise.

With that being said, I must say that for someone to do that to an infant is one of the more disturbing things I have ever heard. How can someone justify shortening a child's life (although his original goal was probably ending it altogether) before it even gets started?

Two Words: Child Support

The father didn't want to pay Child Support.

WTF this makes me so p****d off  :rage: to harm an innocent baby with the intent on killing him by tainting his blood. What a sick sick person....
....and he's eligible for parole in 2 years!!! back on the streets pray to god he doesn't get someone else pregnant  :-[ and want to skimp out on paying child support who knows what he might do. (Cheap bastard :bullet *Fewth, thanks for the venting*

I have to say the son is much more of a bigger man than his father.

Good for him for ''looking at the bright side of life''
