Slightly inaccurate? The headline is grossly incorrect. Beheading a 16-year-old is materially different from beheading a 21-year-old. The appalling possibility of a kid being executed is what made me click on the story in the first place.

And now my comment calling out the OP for creating a misleading headline is at -4 points. If HN is going to be a Facebook-like shithole of clickbait now, that's fine, but in that case I would appreciate it if someone could send me a lobste.rs invite so that I can keep ahead of the expanding event horizon of stupidity.

The headline is slightly inaccurate, but the point remains the same.

It's a travesty that someone's being beheaded for non-violent actions they performed as a child.

Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

The headline is inaccurate.

The correct headline would be “16 year old child tortured and made to confess to sending WhatsApp texts, and then beheaded 5 years later for confessing to sending WhatsApp texts as a child while being tortured. Also, 16 year old was tortured”.
