But look at this from my link in post 18. After he shot her, he ordered the headset.

After the shooting, police say the boy purchased an Oculus Virtual Reality Headset from Amazon. That same morning he reportedly attacked his 7-year-old cousin, leading his aunt to take him to his grandmother’s house, where child welfare workers were waiting.

One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Somebody you’d just love to burn

Adopted, autistic are my guesses...and here they say “mood disorder”

...criminal complaint states that the boy, who has not been identified, took his mother’s keys and retrieved a gun from a lock box before firing and killing her as she did laundry, WISN reported.

In her first interview, Mann’s sister Rhonda Reid told local news station TMJ4 that the boy had been diagnosed with a mood disorder and his therapist had recommended reducing his access to video games.

“He was upset about these (electronic) devices being taken away,” Ms Reid told TMJ4.

i agree,I would make a video of all his stuff being thrown in a fire. show it to him, it seems to be the only way to get thru to him to pain he has caused others by killing his mom. Over a piece of electronics gear. Grrrrrrr.

Where's dad? just asking? is there a link here to violent kids with no father in the house?

Yes,I will acknowledge that this kids future...short term *and* long term...isn't bright at all. He could very well be damaged beyond repair. And it's distinctly possible that he has a genuine brain disorder,probably genetic,which,if present,could make him truly "unfixable".

Having worked for decades at one of Harvard Medical School's large teaching hospitals...some of that time being spent working for a Neuropathologist...I can guarantee you the there are a hundred researchers at the medical school who would love to study him and probe him in every conceivable way.Scans,biopsies,experimental drugs...

It will be interesting to see how he does ‘cold turkey’ from video stuff in jail.

I imagine the left would be upset though.

A few years ago we went to South Africa to visit national parks (particularly Kruger).As part of our photo safari group was a brain researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.One night at the camp while we were all gathered around the fire he kind of took the stage and talked about his work. I found it fascinating,as did the two German medical students who were part of the group.

At one point he said to us "scientists know more about the surface of the moon than they do about the human brain.

Pretty humbling...IMO.

Saw something similar in my hospitals ER four years ago.

A ten year old kid threatened to run his mother through with a kitchen carving knife because she told him to stop playing a video game.

I see so many kids, 10 to 20 years old in the psyche unit every week I hardly notice it.

I'm telling you, the world is going f’ing nuts.

By the time he gets out all his stuff will be obsolete. He’s thinking like a kid. Thinking all this will blow over and he’ll be back home soon.

How do you even charge a 10-year old as an adult?

Johnny was bad
Even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said, “If you don’t get straight you’ll surely go to Hell”

But, Johnny didn’t care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old
He didn’t wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster
A juvenile gangster

His teachers didn’t understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age just because
He didn’t want to learn things
Had other interests
He liked to burn things!

The lady down the block
She had a radio that Johnny wanted, oh, so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
And then he shot her in the leg
But this is what she said

Only A Lad
You really can’t blame him
Only A Lad
Society’s made him
Only A Lad
He’s our responsibility
Oh, ooh-oh

Only A Lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only A Lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only A Lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh

His parents gave up
They couldn’t influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude

And when he stole the car
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far
He didn’t mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

Only A Lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only A Lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only A Lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh

It’s not his fault that he can’t behave
Society’s made him go astray
Perhaps if we’re nice he’ll go away
Perhaps he’ll go away, he’ll go away

Only A Lad
You really can’t blame him
Only A Lad
Society made him
Only A Lad
Is he our responsibility?

Hey there Johnny
You really don’t fool me
You get away with murder and you think it’s funny
You don’t give a damn if we live or if we die
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh
Hey there Johnny boy
I hope you fry!
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-oh-ooh

-Oingo Boingo (Only A Lad)

See my post at #34. I’d fry the kid. Seriously. Think about what he did.

Murdered his own mother at 10 years old. 10 YEARS OLD!

That’s a life gone completely off the rails.

Mentally, emotionally you don’t come back from something like that.

Unconstitutional to execute him due to his age. Potential sentence is 60 years.

With the rage, possessiveness, and other behavior issues he is exhibiting now, chances are he won’t be alive after even ten years in prison, much less living until his first parole board hearing at age 50?
