When an 18 year old murders another person, I do not consider their parents involvement in their lives as a relevant factor of their crime.

She wasn’t 12. She was 18. I may have been somewhat naive at 18 but I was in college and I was not stupid nor was I heartless and I would never have murdered a baby.

Not praying for her.

I was taken aback when I read several contributors on this thread refer to Brooke Skylar as a “child.”

Maybe FR is softening, but it is the first time I have seen posters calling an adult cold blooded murderer a “child.”

For some reason, if Skylar had been named Tyrone an 18 year old male from Detroit who murdered an infant, I doubt the word “child” would be used to refer to him.
