CULTURE: 12-Year-Old Accused of Killing Sister Over a Hamburger

You think you have been in a food fight? A 12 year old has been charged with killing her 9 year old sister over a dispute over a hamburger.

i wonder what it is exactly in modern society that fucks kids up so badly.
murderous and psychotic children has been a major problem in japan for a long time and now that we're starting to approach that level of desensitation and social detachment i've noticed it's becoming increasingly more common in the west as well.

That must've been a tasty burger!



Yes, I know, I'm going to hell...

How horribly sad. What possesses a 12 year old to not let go? I can understand the fight turning physical. My brother and I had a few knock down drag outs, but you really have to try hard to strangle someone. Or at least that is my impression having never actually tried to strangle anyone.

It's really not that difficult, however, I assume it would be clear in the mind of most twelve-year olds that strangling someone over a hamburger is going too far. Which is not to say that I didn't witness a few kids in high school almost being killed for things like kicking dirt in someone's lunch.
Which is also not to say I haven't seen adults almost kill each other over someone stealing their drink at a bar.
Humans don't need a good reason to kill someone, no matter what their age.

My brother and I fought all the time. It only escalated into something serious a couple of times, but there's no way something like this could have happened. And by serious, I mean if either of us ever realized the other was seriously hurting, it ended immediately. With remorse. I feel bad about all of that, but we're grown up now, and we love each other. I mean, neither one of us could even punch the other in the face, let alone do something like this. It should be interesting to know what was going on here.

i'm. . . . . .not surprised

momma loved the 9 yr old more (in the 12 yr olds eyes)
the kid saw blood and couldnt stop, probably didnt even realize that she was really going way too far. i have a lot of training in this shit and i know first hand that if you bloodchoke someone they dont turn colors or throw up, they simply pass out, and then if you keep the pressure on too long you starve the brain of oxygen and they die.

I always wonder why people seem to think that people in modern society are any different than people in previous societies. Kids did this before, it's just that that sort of thing doesn't generally make history books. My parents have some century of photographs book that I saw. There's one body of a black man, charred beyond recognition after a lynching. Granted, kids didn't do this, but I remember a kid there, looking no less disturbed than anyone else there. May have been grinning like a number of them. I remember him that way, but I'm not 100%.

Either way, I don't think it's really society that fucks kids up. These things seem more common these days because we have the internet and television that tells us the moment it happens. And the event is more common than say 40 years ago because there are more and more people every day. But youth violence, last I knew, was on the decline and has been for a while now.

Oh, and before someone says, "It's the parents," I think that answer's not necessarily accurate. I mean, I'd find it hard to say that someone who does all sorts of violent shit has absolutely ideal parents, and I would expect that in many cases, parents are negligent. Sometimes people are born without a sense of right and wrong, and sometimes people are just plain homicidal. I don't think we need to boil all these cases down to some simple answer (parents, psychosis, video games, whatever) and then go about our days, because sometimes answers aren't simple at all It can be any combination, and very occasionally none of them at all. As disturbing as it is, sometimes there aren't any answers, and I think it's time people confront that and stop calling for the heads of the parents/the video game manufacturers. Some people get their jollies doing great deeds for the world, and some...don't.

i'm just glad my sister never killed me over food. i was really into taking her chocolate as a kid.

i agree that there's always messed up kids but not every society produces them to the same extend.
take for example japan, one of the most introverted and emotionally withdrawn societies in the world and they're having a major problem with psychotic kids right now.
i'm not accidental oops i didn't mean to kill him murders but 10 years olds slashing their classmates throats or dismembering them.

very hard and sometimes nearly psychotic children with no apparant reason (no abuse or things like that) are becoming more and more common in the west as well.
i think there's a very defenite connection between society giving it's children less personal love and care and these kinds of incidents.
between being raised by tv, the computer and a pair of working parents children aren't learning to be social creatures any more with all kinds of ensuing problems not just these occasional bizarre murders.

Its not society that fucks up kids....

Some kids are just BORN CRAZY.

hmm me too.
Her chocolate, cookies and candy always tasted so much better than mine.

Ahahahahahahahaha!

That really hits the spot.

This was my thought. After she confessed, they said it was consistent with strangulation, which is absolutely bizarre.

The fact that she did confess and was bothered by it makes me hope that they don't try her as an adult.

It isn't society or that the kids are born crazy it is just that this is human nature. Everyone one has similiar impulses when they are young. A child cares little for morality and only cares that it gets what it wants. I know I wanted to kill my sister on several occasions. I just thought better of it and didn't allow my emotions to overcome me.

The the past we don't hear that much about stuff like this because organized religion played a strong role in governments, allowing them to be able to not allow things like this to get out in the media.

fvckin' big kahuna burgers....i will strike down...!!

but seriously, jesus people

I helped baby sit 2 young girls and i watched in horror as the 2 year old picked up a kitten by the throat begain to choke it and was telling the cat " i can kill you at any time" she was told to put down the cat and we told her that was wrong and all that jazz. I was just fucking upset. I had no clue how a 2 year old could even put those two things together. I knew the mother had and is violent with them Both girls had suffured dislocated shoulders from their mother yanking their arms too hard to pick them up. Another person had suggested she had seen the choking thing on tv and it was no big deal. These kids are sill with the mother. That kitten is dead and they got them another. The children have been almost taken from this girl 4 times...

I am sure we just got the bare facts from that news story above Those girls could have been raised by the "perfect parent{s}". Or they could have grown up in a family that was negletful too....

I remember I stabbed my sister's hand over the last piece of a chocolate cake once. It was an accident but I sure did get my ass torn apart when my mother came home.

I say Survival of the fittest, obviously the little sister was to weak to survive, So the older sister seeing the weakness in her family chain. She then decided to end the weakness in their family

"You go to Hell. You go to hell and you DIE!"

Wow. Damn. Yeah. She learned that on TV. Right. Geh, this makes me feel sick.
