HUMBOLDT, Tenn. — A 12-year-old girl in Tennessee has been charged with murder, accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin as the younger girl slept. A relative said they had been arguing over an iPhone.

A security camera recorded the killing inside the bedroom they shared on July 15 in Humboldt, Tennessee, the county prosecutor said.

The recording shows the older child using bedding to suffocate her cousin as the younger girl slept in the top bunk, Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee’s statement said. After the child died, “the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body,” Agee said.

He said he would petition a judge to prosecute the girl, who turns 13 later this month, in adult court, which would allow for “a lengthier sentence, whether that will be through incarceration or supervision with court-ordered conditions.”

Why is there a camera in the kid’s bedroom that the kid didn’t know about?

It all depends on Tennessee law. Does it provide for ‘certification as an adult’ for 12-year-olds? I think most states do not. Adult or juvenile she’ll likely be free before too long and her cousin will still be dead.

This also begs the question as to why two sub teens would even have access to a smart phone to argue over in the first place. Dumb phones do everything that kids that age need to do: call home.

I have seen evidence of 7 y/o kids with cell phones.

Your expenses are too high?

Start with your cell phones, people.

It is time to get rid of I-phones. Our kids are suffering.

As I read it the kids were staying with their grandmother. So it does seem possible they wouldn’t know there’s a camera in the room. It’s also possible, even reasonable, to assume that the 12-year-old is dumb as a box of rocks as well as being devoid of a conscience.

This shows what happens when 7 yo's, essentially sponges at that age, are fully immersed in screentime...

Simply horrible. Society is raising little monsters.
This calls to mind the movie THE BAD SEED, 2024 version.

I don’t care if she is 12. She does not deserve to keep living.

Yeah, this is some story. And evidently it’s all on video. Pray for this family.

There are two possibilities with you people.

1. you suffer from a kind of tunnel vision equivalent to mental retardation

2. you knowingly try to advance the cabal’s agenda to perpetuate racial strife through the same old tactics of suggestion and innuendo (which is stupid on several levels, one of which is the fact that you’re aiming for a phantom target because patriots are not racists)
