NEW YORK — A boy clinging to life in a Manhattan hospital with burns over half his body got a boost to his spirits Sunday as well-wishers sent messages of encouragement from around the country.
David Aupont, who turned 12 one day after a 13-year-old boy allegedly tied him up and torched him in the basement of an abandoned building, was excited about a letter from the Guardian Angels offering to walk him to school when he gets out of the hospital.
