CLAREMONT, N.H. (AP) — Almost a year after an 8-year-old biracial boy was nearly hanged, the New Hampshire attorney general's office says a legal dispute is preventing it from releasing a report on its investigation.

Allegations have surfaced that several teenagers taunted the boy in Claremont with racial slurs on Aug. 28 and then pushed him off a picnic table with a rope around his neck. The boy's grandmother had said his injuries were treated at a hospital.

The attorney general's office says Wednesday that once its investigation was complete, it sought a court order to release the report, "due to confidentiality constraints and the ages of the children involved."

The office says the report hasn't been released because litigation over whether it may be released "is ongoing." It didn't provide further details.

2. No words

3. The family should release the information to the public independently.

They should probably not name the children in case there is mistaken identity which could prove costly but they could certainly tell what happened, the place where it happened and because of the foot dragging by the AG's offce, appeal for support to get the report released.

5. "What the hell has happened to this Country???"

We tolerated Nazis, thinking that a well-reasoned argument would fix them.

Nothing fixes a Nazi.

But in WWII, we knew what to do with them.

6. This is bullshit. They can redact the names and release the report.

They do this all the time in criminal cases involving kids. I smell a rat. Wonder of the "kids" involved are really older teens and the authorities are afraid if the evidence gets out, people will press for them to be tried as adults. Or if they are being allowed to go free without any form of correction, because their parents are connected.

I assume that the victim is filing a civil suit. I hope the victim is filing a civil suit. Since the criminal courts are not handing out justice. Maybe we can learn what kinds of families breed little KKKers when the plaintiffs take the perps' parents' home owners' insurance companies to court.
