The 14-year-old perp, an 8th-grader, has a DAUGHTER. He, as her father, will not be in her life as I suspect his was not. Each generation-and the generations are SHORT-is worse than the one before. The poor mother of the victim also had an 18-year-old daughter die in a car accident 30 years ago.
I once heard someone say "They breed like flies." At the time, even I thought that was too un-PC, but incidents like this make me wonder.
