Nobody would mistake Bubble Boy, the Disney Touchstone movie that opened last week, for high art. It's full of the tasteless humor and crude pratfalls that appeal to fifth-grade boys. Critics have called it a "gross-out comedy." But at least one boy was not amused. "I was just furious," says Jason Shuman, 10, of Sudbury, Mass.

They brought her to this spot at the base of one palm where a crude scarlet "X" slashed into the bark of the trunk is still visible. And here she knelt for the ceremony, only to feel, instead of the garland of flowers she had been expecting, the bite of a nylon rope cut into her neck...
