Brooklyn - After an 8-year-old boy, Leiby Kletzky, was taking his first walk home from camp, a man who he asked for directions gruesomely murdered him. Leiby took a wrong turn on his walk from camp and asked a stranger, 35-year-old Levi Aron, to assist him.

After a massive search, police found information that lead to Levi Aron. He confessed to the crime, and led officials to the young man’s body.

Here's a news broadcast of the details...

Have a conversation with your parents/guardians about the safety precautions you should take when out in public on your own. Listen to them closely, and follow their directions. Sometimes your parents may seem overprotective, but they have your best interest at heart. Every situation like this can’t be prevented, but the information your loved ones give you is very important.

Our prayers go out to Leiby’s family and friends.
