It's just sad all the way around. Both of them are children. Both of them will never live a normal life from here on out. Both are products of their upbringing (at least to some extent).
She seems a bit unwise and he clearly has anger issues. And in my opinion, if the step-father is saying crap like that when he KNOWS it's being recorded, you have to wonder how he REALLY feels and what he would say behind closed doors. I find it chilling.
I don't get the bully feeling off of her. I think she was trying to defend a friend and made some seriously bad choices in how she did that. Clearly he's not some fading wallflower victim. In addition, how do you truly bully someone you don't even know?
Whatever the case, she is paying a high price for some poorly chosen words. He also will pay a high price for not controlling his temper. Sad.

I totally agree, it is sad all around. He never stood a chance, and now his life is ruined. Her words, which honestly weren't that bad, cost more than it ever should have. Truly sad all around. Also, Wayne may actually get the help he needs and better himself and have more of a chance than he would have with his family...depending on his sentence, etc. of course.
