Children Reportedly Put Teen in Shed, Start Fire
From Times Wire Reports
A group of children locked a disabled teenager inside a shed and set it on fire in Winnipeg, Canada, police and media said.
Brian McKay, 14, was born with spina bifida and walks with a limp. He was at a playground last weekend when a group of children ages 8 to 11 pushed him into the nearby shed, locked it, set it on fire and fled, Winnipeg police said.
A 9-year-old girl heard McKay calling for help, and a friend of hers managed to get it open. A man then heard the children yelling and carried the teen to safety.
