I know it says it is from the Philippines but it is more complete than the other articles I read.
Right now they are keeping an ELEVEN year old boy in the county jail - the jail for adults. The warden wants him moved to juvy because they cannot provide for his needs.
Not sure how I feel about that.
Eleven is so young. But he had already told a friend he wanted to do exactly what he did.
He had access to a "youth" shotgun, one designed especially for young people to be able to use it and that is what he used.
He shot her, then went to catch the bus.
The poor woman's 4 yo was in the house and left to find her mom. Luckily there were people trimming trees on the property or I don't know what she would have done! The 4yo went outside to get help. This will probably haunt her for her whole life, poor baby.
What do the rest of you think about this story? About where to house the 11 yo boy? Should he be charged as an adult?
