Clay Fite
5 yrs old

He was severely burned in a gasoline explosion on Valentine's Day. Clay's being home schooled for kindergarten. But today, therapists from Parkland Hospital in Dallas came to answer students' questions. They explained that even though Clay may not look the same now, he's still the same Clay they knew before.

Here is Clay's blog [link]

Poor kid,people can be so rude and judgmental when it comes to that.
today even for little kids like that it's all about looks and how well you dress.
Media-brainwashing doesnt skip any age it seems even for little infants.
Being as I had to be homeschooled at a certain point in my younger years due to germ cell cancer,I can understand how people can be when it comes to looking different.
I don't mean to sound rude,just e-hit me if I am but the kid to the left,and the lady infront don't look like very understanding people even though it might just be the 'captured moment' in general. Otherwise nice shot.
Send a hug his way.

what a brave boy! personally i think that children should be educated at an early age that just because someone may look different that doesn't make them any less of a person.

kids can be ruthless x.x

So sad that this had happened to someone so young. Not only when I look at it does it make me feel for him but also reminds me of other people who have a hard times going out and showing them self's to other people or the world for that matter. And then being brave and facing their fears.

Poor little bugger...
I'm glad he has lots of support, young people need to understand these things.
It helps when they become adults so they don't look upon individuals who are slightly different as a group of people who are totally differet.

Aww this breaks my heart. Poor kid, theres a girl in my grade with burns from the top of her hairline to the ankle of her left leg as far as i know. Poor things, burns are bad. And the photo really captures all the awed faces of the other students, you can tell some are scared and others want to point. I pray for Clay.
