Nine-year-old stabs girl, two, to death

[OverMyHead]

NO charges would be filed in the case of a nine-year-old boy who fatally stabbed a two-year-old girl in a Texas home where a teenager was babysitting 12 children, Dallas police said today.

The stabbing occurred on December 22 in a home in southeast Dallas where a 15-year-old was left to supervise at least 10 siblings and 2 other children, including the victim.

The toddler, Damya Jefferson, was stabbed twice in the chest by a nine-year-old boy who lived at the house, according to media reports.
No charges would be filed against the boy due to his age, said Dallas Police Sgt Gil Cerda.

So a brother killed his own sister. Intriguing.

It doesn't say they were related.

Wtf babysits 12 kids? I'd go nuts with 2.

 

[Dope Nose]

they should charge the the person who thought a 15-year-old would be a suitable babysitter for 12 children (one of the parents I assume).

 

[ang_hulk]

he had rich parents or was disabled in some way.

Interesting. Blaming others instead of the culprit.

Dr. Sam Loomis: I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the *devil's* eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... *evil*!

oh, I'm not saying the 9 year old isn't responsible. I'm saying that he's not solely responsible.

 

[OverMyHead]

You're right. It was everyone's fault.

The parents, to the fifteen year-old-kid, to all the children idly watching by as one of their own is being hacked to death.

 

[titan101]

oh, and they let him get away with it just because he's 9 ??


pieces of ****.

and I thought Texas are harder on criminals

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

yeah, but they have a soft spot for kids

 

[Kritish]

The kid needs to go to jail.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. I just don't think it's reasonable for any parent to believe a 15-year-old would be capable of properly watching 12 children.

I don't think its so much the babysitter's fault. I doubt it took that long for the even to take place- they may well have been breaking up a fight in another room at the time, or taking a piss, or turned their back for a second. With that many kids they couldn't have been keeping an eye on them all.

The parents and the kid involved are really the ones to blame. I mean, who the heck has that many kids anyhow? If the eldest was fifteen thats literally one a year.

ONly 10 of them were related, the little boy who stabbed the girl was a cousin or a visitor if I am remembering what I heard on the news last night. The kid doesn't need to go to jail, he needs to go to a mental hospital so they can find out what is wrong with him. You send a child that young to jail and you will just turn him into a bigger monster.

I'm sure the parents are going to blame video games and television.

Maybe they let him watch Halloween.

It also doesn't say wether it was an accident or deliberate, or what the motive was- at least, not in the little snippet posted. Definately better psych hospital than prison though. Can you even send a kid to prison that young?

 

[Boghen_Moghen]

Halloween.

edit - never mind. Boghen beat me to it.
