““The girl did not show any remorse, Ice said. “I’m not sure she appreciated the gravity of what she did,” he said.”

At eleven, most likely she doesn’t care. If she feels anything, it’s probably resentment at being held in custody. In Southeast Asia, a girl of her age would be caring for her younger brothers and sisters plus learning a trade. It’s a matter of expectations and pride and love.

The baby was only two months old and mom needed a break? Isn’t that what dad is for?

_____________

In the homeschooling community as well as some Amish communities, girls from about 11 to 14 are seen as mother’s helpers who will entertain a baby while mom gets things done.

I don’t understand it. It is not natural human behavior.

Natural? No. Don't know the situation but...

...perhaps it is the behavior of an 11 year old who is the child of a crack mom who's boyfriends are violating the child.

American society has bred a generation of conscienceless sociopaths. And another is being bred as we speak.

Or, if you wish to address it without the psycho babble, a bunch of worthless feral animals that will need to be put down, but likely will not.

Well, her world is over.

Taking the life of a baby is unreal.
What kind of parents does this monster have?

This news just gets me furious.

It is all too natural behavior when the human is feral.

That isn't always the answer. This is a local event just wrapping up here with a mother's boyfriend convicted of killing her baby.

Sure is getting old.

I suspect the 11 year old is an undiagnosed psychopath of the extreme kind. If that is the case, it will be very obvious during a mental health evaluation. And if that is the case, there is no real alternative than lifetime institutionalization.

This reminds me of the AA boy in Florida who played wrestlemania with the young girl who was staying with his family. He drop kicked he and beat her so badly that her liver broke in half and was reading at the bottom of her abdomen. His mother ( no father) refused a plea and he was sentenced as an adult, I believe. Later overturned.

It sure seems like the whirlpool has really picked up speed over the past few years...

It sure has. LBJ's 'Great Society' welfare state has approached it's full potential.

That baby dissed me, and I didn’t have a dingo handy.

There’s not much information here. If there’s a glimmer of sympathy ..... She was probably an exhausted child herself, and imagine a crying 2-month-old with a passed-out mother who left the job to you.

Maybe she got mad at the infant for crying and just wanted her stop. It would have been a juvenile response, but not out of the realm of a child who was angry, alone, and exhausted.

It bugs me when people make children care for their children. I see it in large families, but I don’t respect the parents who do it. There was a family near here who assigned an older child to each of their younger children. One of them was left in a car when the family got home, and she died. I blame the parents for overburdening their older children with a responsibility that should not have been theirs.

In the highly structured setting of the facility she was fine. There were never any problems with her. It was a very highly pro social program with students expected to dress conservatively, attend appropriate social functions, and the like.

What has happened to her since, I can't vouch for. I have retired. However, if any facility had a chance to turn her around, it was this one. Sorry, I wish I could give you outcome data but I cant.

"I don’t understand it. It is not natural human behavior."

That's right. It is most unnatural, and when the behavior occurs with such remorselessness, it is not very likely to change.

Not much anyone can say about this.
Since a juvenile is the accused, not much more will be made public, ever.

Prayers sent.
