I kid, SJ. These people are sick. Tit for tat, though...you know? ;)

North Carolina parents have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of their 13-year-old son, whom they punished by tying him to a tree for two nights, the The (Raleigh) News & Observer reports.

Brice Brian McMillan, 41, and Sandra Elizabeth McMillan, 36, the boy's stepmother, were also charged with felony child abuse. They are being held without bail in the Edgecombe County Detention Center.

The sheriff's department has not identified the boy or released details of why he was punished.

The teen was bound with plastic ties and nylon rope. "An adult couldn't get out of those," said Sheriff James Knight.

He was first tied to the tree Tuesday and spent the night outside the family's farm in Macclesfield, about an hour east of Raleigh, and was released Wednesday morning. When the boy continued to misbehave that night, he was again tied to the tree, where he remained until his stepmother found him Thursday late afternoon. The temperature was in the 90s.

The boy was unconscious and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Two other children, ages 7 and 9, are in the custody of the county social services.

The McMillans will be in court Monday.
