Eight year olds should be counting hugs and kisses and smiles, not spankings.
An 8 year old boy shot and killed his father and another man. Yup, yet another gun in the hands of a child.
Prosecutors wanted to put this child on trial for murder.
Details now cast shades of gray on what was initially thought of as black and white.
He told social workers that one thousand spankings was his limit. He kept track of them on a tattered piece of paper. The boy has been alive for two thousand, nine hundred and twenty days. So, it's pretty much a spanking every other day for his whole young life.
Bullied by his father, bullied by police and prosecutors.
And another angry young man is born.
Doesn't anyone get it?
Sadly,
HRG
