Teenager stabbed at Ashley High

It is very unfortunate what happened last Friday at Ashley's football game.Everyone needs to wake up and realize that kids carry knives everyday.Unless you know Geromes mom then don't judge her.His mom is a great person.I have worked with her for 7 years.Parents should know that it is impossible to watch your children 24\7.As I watched Geromes mom cry this morning over all this,my heart went out for her.T and R hang in there .God will see you through it all.
We love you guys.

You might want to wait until the facts come out. It's hard to beleive the kid that was stabbed didn't do anything.

This guy is a product of the system that people like Bev Perdue and Obama want to expand.

Would redistribution of my tax money (wealth) have made this kid a better person? Seriously doubt it.

boseman should e put in jail he stabbed a 15 year old 15 times just because a 15 year old was taking up for a small friend and no matter if u get beet up or u beet up someone u should be put in jail

Is/was Boseman even a student at either school?

Bottem line .....It was attempted murder , 15 stabs wounds and a collasped lung kind of goes a bit beyond "assault with a deadly weapon " !!!!!

Ok, so clearly reading threw the comments you can tell the intelect of those supporting Boseman. This is not a matter about where parents where or race. A 15 year old boy was stabbed numerous times, no one deserves that. Even if Boseman was only defending himself, it does not take 15 stabs to get someone off of you. I dont care how good of a boy he is he commited a crime, he chose to stab somebody and he will have to pay the crime. Everyone choose's their own actions whether it be a 15 yr old or 17 yr old 25 yr old or so own. People know right from wrong, whether their parents show it two them or they learn from society and when you choose to do something wrong you should and will have to pay for it.

i think he should have been charged with attempted murder instead of assault with a deadly weapon

Actually Austin's parents have been married for 19 years and the family has always lived together. Therefore, you see bad things can happen to children who are the product of a 2-family household and a large loving family. His family houses, dresses and feds him. Please do not worry about "you" having to support him for the "rest of your/his life". I do connect with your comments, but this is not the case with Austin's family.

This is just another example of young people with no direction or understanding of responsibility. I will bet anything that both these kids come from broken homes and parents that haven’t done their responsibility to be active in these kids lives. Now there is one kid in the hospital and one going to jail. We will probably have to feed both of them for the rest of there lives because their parents failed them. If my son harms someone Friday night at the game who is responsible? Me…. If my kids fail in school who is responsible? Me…. Not the schools or the anyone else.

Parents get involved and take responsibility!!!!!!!!

Who’s responsible?

With his clean record and no other pending charges he’s looking at around two years active, although a split 6 month active w/ three or four years probation and restitution could be a possibility. I doubt a self defense strategy is going to get him acquitted by a jury because, well, 15 stabs could be considered malicious and intentional. Additionally, deadly force in response to simple assault is not permitted under North Carolina law. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn't reindicted for AWDW with intent to kill inflicting serious injury which would carry a sentence in the neighborhood of five years. No probation for that one.

Only two people know what happened and that's Gerome and Austin. Sure there were other teens around and they have all chimed in to give us an insight on what they preceived to have happened...but a "good kid" doesn't just react without being provoked. And when is it appropriate for a child or a teen to carry around a knife even if it's "only a pocket knife." It's ashame that kids carry so much anger...why is this? This is the problem that parents need to address. Talk to your kids more people. Find out what's going on in their lives. Be their parent and their friend. I feel sorry for both families. From the comments that have been given on this forum it sounds like both kids are at fault...no one is a "hero" in this situation. My parents never would have let me attend a football game by myself or with friends without an adult. Parents need to do a better job at this...don't let you child/teen wander around without supervision.

I think boseman has you all fooled. The way you talk he is a nice, kind-hearted guy and sweet. There is no way if he is such a good person that he would stab someone 15 times. Maybe he has 2 personalities.Nor would he come to the game with a knife and 2 older friends (21&23). One of them hit Austin in the mouth, when he saw austin was getting the best of Boseman and not by chocking him. He was pulled off right away by someone.

Tiff. the two guys were white.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED LAWS ON THE BOOKS ABOUT BULLYING!!! FOR EVERYONE!

what yall need to do is ask Austin what the "little kid" said to gerome. gerome is quiet and wouldnt hurt no one. austin is huge. and if he is such a hero why did he jump in the dissagreement why didnt he go get authority. people is getting the wrong idea. austin is trying to act innocent. ahs don't have to do any thing his parents should it's not no one else fault. didnt they teach him not to condome in someone else's problems? come on open yall eyes. he's not an animal he is an scholar that deserves somemore respect. it's not good to lie bc austin had him in a choke hold and he couldnt breathe. when he realized it he paniced that's what austin gets.

hes is like a good friend of mine and i will espically stick up for him.
i think people who think he should be throwin in jail are mostly white people..even though im white i think its wrong. because if a white guy done that to a black guy they wouldnt say that about the guy, hey would let him get by with it.
but yah
miss yah gerome!!

kids feel like they have to have some sort of weapon these days to defend themselves. One feels like he needs to help a friend and the other feels like he needs a weapon for protection. What in the world ever happened to kids being kids? An argument/disagreement should be just that. You have one, you get over it. You can't go around in life stabbing people and rest assured that you won't go thru life getting along with everybody. You have to learn how to handle life's ups and downs without reactions that can cost you dearly. The whole story is sad. The fortunate part is that no life was lost. Our prayers go out to Austin for a speedy recovery and also to Gerome that he uses this as a learning experience and realizes that a tiff is not an excuse to pull a weapon.

And, why is this AHS's staffs fault that these students were not inside the game where they were supposed to be? That they were outside trying to kill each other. Maybe they should not allow children not escorted by an adult to attend after school activities. They should not have to be responsible for our children after school. My husband and I come to the games with my daughter whose is a senior for this very reason. The fact is these children were fighting for something that probably had little or no meaning. And now we are looking for someone to blame, because it could not possibly have been there upbringing.
