A 12 year old boy killed his 2 year old brother by shoving him into a bookcase. He is being tried as an adult.
This 12 year old boy was born to a 12 year old Mother.
Mother is now being charged with aggravated manslaughter and culpable negligence.
I have two twelve year old boys. "Adult" comprehension of death by rough housing or even fist fighting is not a possibility developmentally.
Forever
Dead from shoving each other when they get angry at one another just is not part of their thought process.
True he should not have been alone with a two year old.... did anyone teach that to their VERY young CHILD Mom? She is only 25, now...WITHOUT a normal childhood to build on.
Just heartbreaking.... His face will stay with me...he looks like my son's best friend who stays over all the time. Gut wrenching.
