I remember about a year or so ago a girl got mad at another one for talking on the phone to her boyfriend. Came to school and attacked the girl and had a pick (comb) and stabbed the girl with it. Didn't realize at the time but it went into the girls heart and she ended up having emergency surgery. They were thinking of trying this girl as an adult. (she was in middle school). I was against it since I felt this girl did not attack to 'kill' but was totally out of control with an anger issue that may be addressed in the juvie center if she was put there until she turned an adult, then supervision after that if she did well.
Ended up I think that is what happened to her.
But this?? These kids knew the lady was in the house sleeping. They crawled in and cut the phone lines, shut the power off, had a bat and a shotgun (wasn't loaded), with them. Proceeded to go through the house stealing nothing of real value and then waking the lady up with the noise. They didn't just hit her once but many times and then just put her back on the bed and threw some things on her (a fold up bed frame)?
Then went home and slept the rest of the night away before getting up and blaming the other one when reporting it to their moms. These kids have no souls, no heart, no feelings! Try as I want to I simply can't see these kids as that...kids..these were caluating animals and need to be put away for a very long time so they can't hurt anyone else.
As a mother of 4 it hurts to say that about kids that are about the same age as my two younger ones but hey...this was just sick.

Makes me so sad to read this kind of garbage that is going on more and more lately around here.
