Cane control now!
” ...he had punched the woman and put a cane around her neck.”
*shudder*
The first thing the boy needs is a blood test and CAT scan.
Unless either of those is extremely weird, like a brain tumor or some organic problem that “would bend any pipe”, the next visit would be to an organic psychiatrist.
They can pretty easily determine if he is an extreme psychopath who “no how” can ever be released because he is a homicide machine, or has some other juvenile mental illness that also means a long term stay for the rest of his life.
If he makes it through that, and good odds for that, then he should be turned over to the justice system.
Something else to keep in mind is that since the 1950’s, teen suicide has tripled and there are even considerable numbers of pre-teen children attempting to or actually killing themselves. A government report I read identified divorce as the number one factor. Today’s “ethics” are that ability to voice your needs and wants gives you rights. Children lack that ability, so they often only receive “the leftovers” from their “caregivers.” Suicide and murder certainly aren’t the same, but in children especially can result from many of the same causes.
I hope this monster is sick or mentally ill. I hate to think 10yr old kids are killing people now. Has society really gotten to this point?
