I haven't clicked the link but .... where does a ten-year-old learn to effectively punch someone in the throat several times ?
And whatever the source is ... it made a killer out of a child.

He didn’t use a gun, so it’s OK.
Bet he gets off.

There are only two victim groups that teach their kids that anger and violence are appropriate responses for all disagreements. Which is this?

I went to the comments section on the ABC news site. All sorts of concern about the boy being 10 and being charged as an adult.
So far NOT one word about the elderly woman he killed by beating her to death. The concern is a bit skewed I believe. The victim gets none and the killer gets all... because of his age.

Dunno.
I get the feeling the kid is an Obama son.

OK, I’m probably going to take some heat on this one, but what is the point in having two classes of crime, adult and juvenile, if we are just going to arbitrarily throw juvenile out when a judge decides a crime is “really bad”? If a 10 year old isn’t a juvenile for all things, then what age is? 9? 8?
Why not just have one charge, in this case murder, that covers both and go to trial? Then, after conviction, let the factor of the perps age be considered (or not considered) by the judge at sentencing. Better than going through this Kabuki dance of he’s a juvenile, but because what he did was really bad, were going to pretend he’s not a juvenile in this case

Not to diminish the severity of this heinous crime, but I don’t get the entire concept of charging a juvenile as an adult. Crimes committed by under-aged youths have been subject to lesser punishment, based on the fact that their reasoning skills have not yet been fully developed. The actual crime they commit, whether it be relatively innocuous, such as shoplifting, or incredibly serious, as murder most certainly is, should still fall under the framework of a crime committed by a juvenile. Or else, just do away with the whole notion, and charge a third-grader who steals a cookie from the cafeteria with felony burglary.
