An 11 year old girl is being charged with murder, after the two month old baby her mother had been babysitting was found dead.According to the police the girl wanted to give the mother a break from caring for the baby and took the baby girl upstairs and returned about 45 minutes later telling her mother something was going wrong with the baby. The baby was then taken to the hospital where she died due to having injuries to brain, liver, spleen and kidney. the girl was taken to juvenile court on Monday and understands the severity of the charges being held against her.
This news does not really surprise me, i think that at eleven years old there are some people who are capable of doing something like that, i think we underestimate the mental capacity and understanding of children for many situations, that's why its important for parents to be aware of the behavior and mental patterns their child has right from the start.

This is clearly no excuse for the actions taken against the baby but could it be possible that the 11-year-old thought she was doing her mom a favor? If so then she should get some mental treatment for whatever she has.
ReplyDeleteIts very obviouous that the injuries on the child were intentional and although the girl is young, I agree with the actions being taken to have her in Juvenile confinement.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this child should actually be in a prison type situation. Obviously she is very young so it makes me question her sanity, maybe they should have her put in a mental hospital.
