"I can't believe that in any country besides the U.S., any civilized country, that the parents of a murdered boy would receive this bill for $29,000 and such an insulting letter," Gerald Hawkins said.

Hawkins called the letter, delivered to their home just 12 hours after their son's funeral, a harsh blow to the couple's healing process.

The letter said the dead student was indigent, and would be denied future medical treatment.

Sounds like insurance fraud and tax fraud to me.
