Young Killer Speaks Before Getting Sentenced for Playground Murder

[@funjoy0738]

I remember way back in the day a 14 kid from my neighborhood broke into an elderly folks home and they ended up returning while the kid was in the home. He brutally murdered the elderly couple and got out at 25 years old. Well, a couple of months later a Cop caught him dragging a dead body over to a dumpster. He's now serving Life without Parole

All of these people calling all of us horrible because we think he needed a way harsher sentence. You guys saying that "He's a child" and that he deserves a second chance, or he's rehabitable would not be saying this if this was your beautiful baby that was murdered by being stabbed in the back! and if you were in that court room hearing every single detail on what he did premeditative to plan for this you would be saying longer too.

[@careywong0207]

Doesn’t matter he’s a child. If you do the crime you do the time. He premeditated killing the 9 years old. And torture animals he got a problems with his head. Then he should be doing life without parole. Justice system are so bad, he’s going to kill again.

[@mariastefanie5835]

This is a child. Everyone commenting really such vile things is so hard to read. Children don’t just decide to kill. They kill because things are happening / have happened to them. I’m not excusing. I’m about understanding what causes are and working to heal that.

I do agree, this child need some help maybe that's why the mother wouldn't even look at him when she walked by. What a crazy world. No way I couldn't talk to my child and try to figure out what happened and what was wrong but I would say the mother already knows what's wrong

You are excusing this monster for murder? What a shame it's hard for you to read comments written by the sane; something that you are not.

[@Theforgotten10]

This judge made a grave error. A longer punishment was needed in this case. He shouldn't get out for at least 20 years due to the brutality of his offense and the pain he caused his victim.

[@MicheleBorchewEsq]

He was not tried as an adult. That would be an illegal sentence. Sorry you don’t understand that child are different than adults, regardless of the crime.

The prosecuting attorney said, upon his release, "We unfortunately don't see enough success stories like [this].” If you were in charge he wouldn’t have rehabilitated back into society and would be in prison probably committing more crimes. There’s a reason we have judges set sentences and not people on the internet

@@udhehfhehcuw9169 America has the worst rate of recidivism in the industrial world. Giving sub-saharans a “get out of jail free” card for their first offense hasn’t benefited anybody. I hope you have to suffer the result of your politics instead of your neighbor.

[@MissMarshall]

If you are scared of your kids behavior that is a feeling you should never ignore- reach out for help from schools, even the police, call them over, ask for advice, children deserve help when they are acting out it is serious & you can’t ever ignore their cries for help. Even cps call them tell them you need parenting classes to do stuff the right way. There is nothing wrong with that

[@Lynny5]

A serial killer in the making ! Look at historical crimes of this nature. They start young and their first victims are animals, just like this kid with mice. He should face life in jail!! Failed by his parents and the poor kid he murdered has been failed by the flawed justice system.

There has to be some mental illness involved here. It sounds like he had a psychotic break. It's not normal for a 12 year-old to stab someone to death much less someone close to his age.

[@wowzers6178]

[@rororo1126]

Idc what anyone says. A child should have stricter punishment than adults. The likelihood of a child committing a crime like this “just because” is too likely and you have to show them that they can’t do whatever they want and get away with it. That’s the problem with a lot of your children now.
