hang them high country and it needs to stop. This is a very sick kid...if you are not going to provide psychiatric help...then put the kid against the wall and shoot him...it would be kinder than locking up a child who can't understand fully for life...throw him away.

Did you know Ann Perry a famous British author and her teenage friend murdered the teenage friend's mother when they were 15...she was going to move and the friends did not want to be separated...Both girls were found guilty,incarcerate and released five years after the murder... Our laws are way to harsh IMHO.
