In Dallas, Texas, while a 7-year-old boy headed to his chemotherapy appointment Tuesday, thieves were at work on his family’s car, making off with his medicine, school homework, and video games. If that wasn’t enough, it all happened on the day before his birthday.
Kyle Springs and his family drove from Oklahoma to Dallas for a monthly chemotherapy treatment for a tumor in his brain. The thieves struck as he and his parents ate breakfast at a Denny’s restaurant.
“It had my homework and my medicine in it, and I couldn’t leave my medicine. I needed to take it,” he said.
Along with the backpack of medicine, homework, a PlayStation Portable (PSP), and video games, his medical records were stolen as well.
According to Kyle’s mother, video games helped him escape the pain.
“They keep his attention off sitting there, getting that medication that he knows is going to make him sick,” Trish Springs said.
When authorities heard about Kyle’s situation, they stepped up. Officers presented Kyle with a new PSP, video games, movies, and money for his medication at the Children’s Medical Center.
In just two and a half hours, officers from the Dallas Police Department raised more than $1,000 for Kyle.
| I wonder if his teacher will believe his story as to why he didn't hand his homework in.

Also, it takes a whole new level of scummy to steal from a kid with cancer. How disgusting.  Click my Digimon or ELSE. | |

| I was trying to think of the same thing, but it seems like they knew. I'm sure the parents brought it up at some point. Click my Digimon or ELSE. | |

Probably just some random kids who hopefully learned a lesson when they went through the stuff and found the medical records, and realized the full extent of what they did.

Moral to the story, lock your car and park it where you can see it.
Props to Dallas PD for doing that though. 
Come join the conquest!
