A 5th grade boy in Washington was convicted of a conspiracy to kill one of his classmates because “she was annoying.” The boy, who conspired with another 10 year old classmate, wanted to stab the “annoying” girl to death at Fort Coville Elementary School in northeast Washington. While entering the school, the boys were caught with a knife and gun in a backpack. SMH! What is the world coming to? And what is happening in the homes of these little boys, that their parents did not realize what was going on? They are 5th grader for Christ’s sake! To read more, click below.
After being caught, the plans became clear.The boys told a school counselor that one was going to kill their classmate, while the other one was going to hold everyone at gun point to prevent them from stopping it. The 10 year old boy has already plead guilty and has been sentenced 3 to 5 years in a juvenile detention facility. The defense attorney for the other 5th grader, attempted to portray him as a kid who doesn’t know the line between fiction and reality. The judge is not buying it though and has yet to sentence the child.
SMH! Where did these kids find their weapons? Do their parent’s not check their school bags to make sure their homework and books are there for class? Does the 10 year old deserve to be sent to a juvenile detention or is he too young? What are your thoughts?
