It's a future Democrat voter, though. So, it will live.Kill it now.
Unfortunately we have little information on this case. What we do know from the one article is that a boy 10 years old willfully shot his mother dead because he wanted to play something that she would not buy for him. There might have been anger for a while, but the anger or disappointment was handled with a bad choice. We all have the power of choice. And we all have a conscience. In this case, what we know to this point, is that the conscience of this boy was seared like a hot iron to flesh. And we know that there was no remorse from this critter as if the killing of his mother was just turning off a light switch. Sounds pretty condemning to me.No matter how heinous the crime you don’t execute a child unless you wish to find yourself in the company of those who do like the Taliban. God is just and he will execute judgement in the end. A child is not held to account like an adult of full age is and even adults of full age who are adjudicated as criminally insane are not executed as they are deemed not able to be held to account due to their mental status.
An adult found to be of sane mind who commits a premeditated capital crime may be held to account by the death penalty by the State and this indeed is biblical….but not a child of tender years and not someone who was not mentally competent. One might also consider that with the same judgement you use can be rendered against you as well and this is also biblical. Mercy triumphs judgement and all circumstances need to be considered.
Few to no mental health services or social workers to intervene, and some families keep their "bad seeds" to themselves in hopes the child will "outgrow" the problem. In past days, I think more relatives intervened with "fatal farm accidents" if the bad seed got too out of control, but not all of them did.
Even now, I've heard kids being warned to stay away from "Cousin Eddie" (not his real name) who "isn't quite right in the head." So the parents are aware that there is a potential problem. I suspect that happens a lot across the Midwest.
killing your MOTHER because you could not make an amazon purchase reflects such an out-of-touch, cold and calculating persona.
I think all kids by the time they are 10 years old, kids should be well trained to track, trap, hunt and harvest a rabbit at least, then skin, gut and cook then eat his or hers kill.
Pretty much how it goes almost everywhere. No way to handle the kid now and little if anything seems to get done to transition child killer to even semi-responsible adult.He'll be in a juvenile mental facility until he is 18. That day, he gets booted to the street until he does something to go into the adult system. Jmho, based on what goes on here in Ks.
Relatives said the boy has a history of disturbing behavior. When he was 4, he swung the family’s puppy around by its tail, the complaint says. Six months ago, family told police, the boy filled a balloon with a flammable liquid and set it on fire, causing an explosion that burned furniture and the carpet. Relatives recalled that when asked about that, the boy said he hears five imaginary people talking to him.

Maybe. Maybe not. If he can’t pass the mental health test(s) he will have to take before he is allowed out then he’ll be sent to the State hospital.
And the above is one of the primary reasons that these type of minors get charged as adults. If they are charged as juveniles they’ll get out at 18, possibly 21. If they are charged as adults, it is NOT automatic that they get out at 18.
I understand the system can be abused but if the consequences are as egregious as is being stated, then the consequences should be as well.
I’ve told the story multiple times but here it goes again. I worked nearly a decade in mental health as support staff. I primarily worked in aging and mental health with those over 55. However, occasionally I would be called to fill in for other departments and programs. Where I used to work had at one time various residential settings. One time I was called to help with some grant stuff on the children’s lock down ward. If you’ve ever wondered about the reality of demon possession or the bad seed theory, work a day in that setting and you will never ever wonder again.
Some of those kids looked completely angelic and even act it on a limited basis. Then their true natures will out. One such incident was one fo the little kids got fixated on me. They had the kid heavily medicated in preparation for sending them to state lock down. That meant he didn’t look like the demon they were. I got handed a picture and they calmly and beatifically said they wondered what my blood tasted like. I will not describe the horror I was being subjected to in the picture. Dear Lord Above. The kid was about five or six. I’ve done my best to forget the incident to be honest. Needless to say they rushed me off the unit for my own safety. That particular “patient” had already bit a staff person and taken a chunk of flesh out … which they ate and swallowed before they could be stopped.
Sometimes all you can do is deal with what is before you regardless of what softhearted and understanding people would like to be the reality.
Not sure if you’ve read this thread, but many people are asking for suspension of due process.
In MANY instances, sociopathy, psychopathy, there IS no pharmaceutical treatment. For things like bipolar and schizophrenia, there are. Drugs are not the end all be all. If you’ve ever worked with abused animals, the approach is the same. Drugs may work to manage initially, but if you’re not doing behavioral therapy simultaneously, they’re useless in the long run.
Just because your opinion is that ‘drug it’ is always the answer, doesn’t mean you are educated on the issue. That stereotype is perpetuated by humans who want an immediate solution with little work. In almost ALL instances, behavioral modification therapy is at least recommended. People CHOOSE not to follow recommendations.

Pretty good odds that if this kid was actually raised by his parents... he would have taken a different path. Societies of yore would have given this guy plenty of responsibility and a sense of purpose, not to mention stern discipline from an early age.... I guarantee this kid was never seriously disciplined beyond a limp wristed "time out"Most societies of yore would execute a kid like this, even our ancestors knew that a child so evil could not be fixed!
It's called a psychopath. One of the most notable studies done on psychopaths was that of Dr Robert D Hare who authored Without Conscience. He developed a checklist, still used today, that's used to assess whether or not a person is a psychopath. One of his claims is that a person is born like that, and a prime qualification of a psychopath is they have a limited or no conscience at all. I read his books, and taking from memory something like 7% of the population are psychopaths. They range from being just the workplace mischief maker to the serial killers.Perhaps miswired might be a better term, I suspect psychiatry has a name for it, I'm just not sure what it is.
If a 10 year old is considered not responsible for making a decision to kill its mother, why are we allowing 10 year olds (and younger children) to make decisions to permanently alter their gender.....Actually, there is a small percentage of children (and so far this kid fits the bill) who just seem to be born "bad." Perhaps miswired might be a better term, I suspect psychiatry has a name for it, I'm just not sure what it is.
Kids with this issue tend to have a history of hurting or killing small animals (including pets) sometimes really torturing siblings or playmates and sometimes are in families with a number of children and the rest are just normal children. While you can get "mean" or "highly disturbed" children as the result of physical neglect or abuse; the kids I'm talking about often show a history of neither.
I even saw an episode of Dr. Phill where the family agreed to cameras in their home and the films of the tiny little girl were terrifying. You could see even Dr. Phill was extremely upset, worried, and concerned. He arranged for the family to have an immediate intervention with a full evaluation of the child, who I suspect may have ended up in an institution as she was a danger to her siblings as well as herself (you can rehome your pets but not your baby!)
So while I agree that there is a huge problem with bad parenting and a tendency to turn kids over to their phones to be their babysitters, given what little we know of this child's history I'm going to suspect that he's been a problem since he could walk.
As I surmised, WI is actually rated rather highly on the accessibility/affordability/availability metrics wrt MH services- usually top 5-10 seed, as it were.I agree that in the past there was more personal responsibility, up to and including, eliminating the irredeemable and criminally dangerous from the pool.
Not sure that MH services are lacking in WI, that good ole boy/MN nice/Luthern esthetic was alive and well in WI too and reflected in their efforts.
After learning these new details, Milwaukee police interviewed the boy again. This time, he told detectives he aimed the gun at his mom with two hands while in a shooting stance. He said he tried shooting a wall to “scare her” when she walked in front of him and he shot her, the complaint says.

The various "toys" kids have today such as a phone or other devices will not make a kid a killer and it is doubtful if such a kid will be made into a killer by being around other kids his age group. And I seriously doubt if mommy's personality and/or parenting skills were so bad that she made him into a killer.
I believe your term "miswired" is exactly correct. The kid was unfortunately born with some brain defect.
The left has successfully brainwashed western culture into believing anything bad coming from a kid or young adult is the direct result of bad parenting. This same bunch will fully recognize physical birth defects but somehow it escapes them that mental defects can also happen. (A psychopath is one such defect and there is no cure for it.) Many factors determine the personality of a kid when growing up. Public education is a huge one. Movies watched, hard drugs, news articles as well as the local culture. The same bunch that claims 99% of bad kids are the result of bad parenting are hypocrites in that they will recognize our government schools as brainswashing kids as well as a kid in a "bad part of town" not having a chance (ie local culture).
Whether or not this kid should be treated as an adult or is irrelevant. He is what he is, he was born that way, and he will never change. The only thing for certain is he needs to be permanently removed from society.
My opinions are based on actually having worked with a psychopath, being told she was a psychopath by a real shrink based on her odd behavior, and reading everything I could find on the subject.
ETA: It's also my belief that the left's brainwashing western culture into believing that 100% of a kid to full grown adult's bad behavior is the result of bad bad parenting is part of their plan to eliminate families and make the state the sole guardian of children.
I am not in favor of that either and for similar reasons, ten is way too young to make an adult decision.If a 10 year old is considered not responsible for making a decision to kill its mother, why are we allowing 10 year olds (and younger children) to make decisions to permanently alter their gender.....

I only differ in that I think they are MADE by what occurs in the baby/toddler stages of life. Maybe not, but that's what I think.Sociopath....rabid, same thing. Don't cage it. Kill it. That particular damaged genetic fault needs to be removed from the human gene pool.
Possible. If somehow the baby/mom bonding thing did not occur, that would explain a lot.I only differ in that I think they are MADE by what occurs in the baby/toddler stages of life. Maybe not, but that's what I think.
I still remember the 1st chicken I processed just a few years ago. The hardest was to do the actual killing. I used the neck separation method. I hooded her which seems to calm them. Tied her legs together so I could hold her good. I laid her on the floor with the broomstick laying lightly across her neck. Stepped lightly on one side, then steeled myself for the deed. Step on the other side, both feet will be on the broomstick, and firmly pull to separate the neck. There will be flapping, one can feel when the neck is separated, and then its all over except the dying throes.At work we ran a school known as SERE - Why this U.S. military survival school is the most feared of them all. Students were given a live chicken or rabbit to kill, dress, cook and eat. I recall overhearing a clutch of incoming students worrying about having to kill their dinner.
The idea of a homicidal child is unnerving to me. The idea of a PACK of homicidal children makes my trigger finger itch.
Humans are hard-wired to a certain degree to want to protect children. But humans are also hard-wired to protect themselves.
So what happens when two hard-wired phenomena end up at odds and you find yourself having to PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CHILDREN?
If you want to experience that kind of horror for yourself, get a copy of the movie "Home Movie." You'll experience exactly that in first-person perspective and force you to consider how you might respond to such a situation.
And given that the psychological medication is starting to run dry, well...you may have to face such a situation sooner than you think.
Anyone who murders as an adult almost certainly was cruel to animals when young. Most who are cruel to animals when young grow out of it and don't murder when adults.Ever notice how many times the mistreatment of animals, at an early age, is associated with people who murder later in life?
I only differ in that I think they are MADE by what occurs in the baby/toddler stages of life. Maybe not, but that's what I think.
You think it is unnerving reading or thinking about it? You should be in the presence of kids like this. It is like the story of when the angels turned on God. There just doesn't seem to be any good way to compute it.
And when looking for a reason? Most of the very young ones are simply born that way and their parents are victims not the perpetrators that most in society trying to paint them to be. Why our Creator allows it I have no clue.

So in the never ending nature vs. nurture debate, you’re firmly on the nurture side.I only differ in that I think they are MADE by what occurs in the baby/toddler stages of life. Maybe not, but that's what I think.

As the parent of a sociopathic child, I can say with some authority that you’re wrong.
