Authorities have arrested a 12-year-old boy in the fatal stabbing of his 8-year-old sister at her home in a quiet Northern California community last month.
Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz told reporters at a news conference that the boy was taken into custody Saturday afternoon and will be charged with homicide, Fox40.com reported. ......

Talk about a family totally destroyed. Not only was their daughter murdered, but, if found guilty, their son was the murderer. That's gonna be tough to deal with.



Like many things, I just don't understand. When I was a kid, I hated my brother..... a lot. I probably fantasized about killing him, but it would never had occurred to me to do anything like this.


What is it about the newer generations that even gives then the idea of taking violent actions? I hated a lot of my teachers when I was in middle/high school... a lot. But to actually take violent action against my teachers/school never entered my mind.



I just don't get it.
