I can't see how capital punishment could be considered for a 7 year old either. I just can't imagine it.
I doubt anything other than foster care and counseling will given to him, but it won't be the last we hear of him either.
He is damaged psychologically now,(and probably leading up to this point) and will probably end up committing suicide, or in prison later on in life. At this point, I blame his parents, both of them for creating the little monster. I'm not saying that divorced parents or single parents are all bad either,I know plenty of single parents who are excellent parents, but obviously this particular pair are not.

FReepers come here to share reactions and look for answers. It's almost like coming home from work and venting to your family members. We often say stark, shocking things - out of anger and helplessness. Then someone will accuse someone else of being "judgemental" as if questioning behavior is taboo. We should criticize parents for not creating a stable environment for their children, because ultimately we will be forced to support and or live with these misfits.

Are we uninformed how adult sexual predators and murderers spent their childhood?

He might not even receive that if you want to know the truth, once ordered a lot of judges lose track through child welfare and down the line. It might not have been both parents, but you are right something had to seriously effect this boy and make him this angry. Each time this happens it is a different issue, with different facts, that makes it hard to for see it before it happens. By the time we are completely educated, it seems we might be too late.
