This case haunts me! I look at the face of this little boy and think, "Murderer?" I have read the stories of him being charged as an adult and think, “What has our legal system come to?” I have read that he was kept in isolation and where he was taken into court in handcuffs and shackles. Why would they ever feel the need to handcuff or shackle an 11 year old boy? Where did they think this little boy was going to run to??? I also have to ask myself, “How much drugs do they have this child on?” Since it seems to be the medical communities answer to every problem, with every child now days to slap them on some Ritalin. I have also read all the articles and seen the videos of the victim’s family speaking out in her behalf, but have only seen one article by the little boy’s uncle in his behalf. Where is this little boy’s father? His mother? His grandmother? They go on and on in the one article about how carefully the judge explained the charges to him and how the child nodded each time he was asked if he understood. Do these people not comprehend that just because a child shakes his head up and down does not mean he really understands? HELLO, this kid is 11 years old. This is a CHILD for GOD Sake! He has no REAL idea of what he has done. What makes people think that children come with some kind of a built in manual of what is right or wrong. They learn what they are taught. Did anyone teach this child that taking another persons life is wrong? Who his dad? The same article states his attorney will ask the judge to move the case to the juvenile court system as soon as counselors at the Erie center have had enough time to assess the boy. This murder happened in February and this is May. Has anyone talked to this boy? Another article states his dad is the only person that is allowed to visit him. This is the man who gave him the gun and taught him to kill things with it. Is anyone else talking to this child??? There was a post someone left asking another lady who was saying a lot of the same things I am saying if she would take this murder into her home with her family. Just in case anyone wants to know, YES I WOULD! This is a lost little boy who is being abused by our legal system and shunned because of the horrific act he committed. BUT, I repeat did anyone ever teach this child that killing is wrong? Does he really understand the consequences of his actions? I do not think so.
