FULL TITLE: Shock as 16-year-old confesses to stabbing classmate who was missing for two months 'just because she didn't like her anymore'
Emerging details of a 16-year-old's murder confession, who claimed she acted out a preplanned stabbing last summer, have shaken a small West Virginia community.
On May 1, Rachel Shoaf, of Morgantown, pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Skylar Neese and she awaits sentencing in a juvenile detention center. Another unnamed girl is also facing charges.
Now, a newly released transcript of a secret plea hearing reveals that Shoaf said she and the second girl carried out a plan to kill Neese.
Court documents offer no insight into the motive for the crime. On May 1, Skylar's father said the only reason he could think of was that they 'didn't like her any more.'
WDTV reported that Dave Neese stated: 'They didn't like her anymore. That's the only response I got.
'I want a reason, I want some kind of reason (for this to) happen. There is no reason I don't care if you have the best reason in the world, but there's no reason (for this to happen).'

Interesting, possibly the one who did the actual stabbing could get off light.
“Geez, what are they teaching these days?”
Maybe it’s what they are NOT teaching them? How many of these kids are taken to church? Wanna bet not at all? My grandmother always said “take your kids to a church that teaches the kids about Jesus Christ” and you know what? she was correct!!
Yes I think these kids “don’t really know” on some level. They think it is some video game and the person will just magically pop back up. Don’t you all know these kids spend thousands of hours playing violent video games and not even 1 hour a week in a church? Even if they do make it to a church one day a week to you think that is enough to undo the violence done by the games? Then there is the crap they get in schools, tv and media. Yea I have to believe on some level they don’t know because parents are not parents anymore.

You and I are writing about two different things.
I see that you’re saying that moral values should be instilled and that things such as video games and public schools are bad for children, and those are good points.
However, I wasn’t writing about higher functioning capabilities of people. I was pointing out that all humans, barring, of course, those with extreme abnormalities, know why they do things, so “I don’t know” simply is not an acceptable answer to a proper authority’s questioning “Why?”.
For example, a newborn, before receiving moral guidance and if he could speak, would be able to answer if asked “Why are you crying?” by saying “I’m hungry.”
I honestly believe some parents are not instilling morals and values in their kids and that is why they do these these. My grandmother always said you start the day you take the baby home from the hospital. Trying to teach this girl at age what? 16? That to kill her classmate is wrong is way too late. She should have already known. She should have already developed a conscience. Somehow her parents failed her I fear.
I agree that it’s sad that so many parents fail their children.
I’ve seen, too, through personal experience, that sometimes people are destructive from birth, even though they are taught strong Christian values and they have loving parents and siblings and a happy home.
These people bring tragic devastation into their families and into the lives of those unfortunate enough to fall into their snares.
Parents have been told for so long that they shouldn’t instill morality in their kids that some believe it
How did I miss this? Scary. Satan is working overtime.
