Before Kayden Culp was placed in an induced coma on Sunday, the 10-year-old special-needs child who had been lured to a Texas shack, doused with gasoline and set on fire was able to tell his mom the person responsible for the grisly attack needed to face justice: “He hurt me. He set me on fire. He needs to go to jail.”

Authorities had taken into custody Wednesday night one of the three boys – ages 9, 10 and 11 – believed to be involved in the horrific assault in the town of Kerrville. The unnamed juvenile was charged with first-degree arson.
On Sunday, Kayden reportedly was riding his bike when he met up with an acquaintance.
“One of his friends — who he felt like was his friend — just happened to take him to the field, and there were kids waiting at the field,” Kasper said.
One boy doused Kayden and another lit him on fire.
