First of all I personally believe that BEKs are an urban myth. Too few sightings and those that are known are way too similar. Having said that, there
was a good personal account on a different forum and eventually they came to the conclusion that the strange behaving kid had some sort of autism and
may have been on certain drugs that make the iris look very black and could lead to the impression that it had black eyes. However I COULD be
persuaded with good evidence.
Now in case people have seen BEKs for real, there are only two explanations:
1. They are a hoax
2. BEKs are real and hence aliens or demons or whatever.
Number 1 would sit well with teenagers, especially because life often imitates art. It may have started out as an urban myth and then some kids
thought it would be funny to do it for real. I can understand that. If this is the case, we have to ask how they've got their eyes so black? Now the
OP is very particular that these kids have tattooed eyes. As has been asked over and over: What is the purpose of going through something this painful
and dangerous just for a prank?
I have experience with homelessness through someone else and I can tell you that if you are young and homeless you have more worries than scaring the
living daylights out of people just for fun.
Also if homeless kids were forcefully tattooed, trust me that this would very soon all over the papers. Mainly because even homeless people have
friends and aquaintances and being young they often come into contact with youth workers who would rightly ask WTF is going on. Someone somewhere who
is not 'in' on this would see a kid like that in daylight and wonder.
To me the easiest way to get the whole of your eyes black are whole eye lenses, as used by actors [remember Pinhead in Hellraiser?] Now the price of
those is about £250+ here in the UK, don't now how much they are in the US but I assume it would be similar. Those lenses are very very good and you
can't see any edges but the price of those would a) exclude homeless kids and b) is sooooo not worth a short joke. Even though there may be some rich
kids out there who can afford them. So who knows.
As to point 2. Maybe BEKs are real. Maybe they are alien offspring. aybe they are the devil's spawn. TBH I can believe point 2. more than the theory
about some obscure 'people' grabbing random homeless kids and tattoo their eyeballs????? Seriously? That explanation must be at the very bottom of
all explanations for this mystery. It makes no sense what-so-ever! This is no discussion, its one person who wants everyone to tell them that they are
right. I bet the OP will not even read my post...sigh
