Normally I wouldn’t worry about a 10 yr old.
I agree, but there still are lots of blanks to fill in, IMHO. This is a big stretch, but how do we know the grandfather-caretaker isn't responsible for her death, and that they blamed the child thinking that nothing would happen to the child because he was only 10? How do we know that the reason the child is being charged as an adult isn't because the prosecutors office suspects the grandfather, and wants to put pressure on him and the mother to come clean?
A big reach, yes, but just makes the point that there are still lots of things about this case that remain unclear.
“Normally I wouldn’t worry about a 10 yr old.”
Normally, you’d be bigger and stronger. When you’re a bedridden elderly person that’s no longer true and a 10 year old becomes a potential menace. One would think this isn’t the first time this 10 year old has demonstrated he’s dangerous. That’s probably why he’s being charged as an adult, a long history of disturbing behavior. He’s probably been so charged because they can’t keep him away from other children if he’s charged as a child, meaning he’s considered a potential serial killer by the authorities. Like all “news” articles, this one seems to be written by somebody who could not write a coherent report with all the details on a fishing expedition or a camping trip, let alone a murder.
