After reading this article I was shocked to see that a child would have that type of self-conscious. It is hard for me to believe that a child would do that; therefore I feel that more of an investigation should be done because I have a hard time believing an 8-year old child would do that without any type of motive. I have been a child at some point in my life so I understand that if a 8-year old boy shoot and killed someone purposely then there must have been foul play of it may have been out of self- offense.Kids who kill members of their family for reasons other than an accident, feel pressured by demands, abuse, hatred, desire for gain, and even by the need of other family members.
One 14-year-old enlisted this brother to help him murder their parent's, and one mother provoked her son into killing his father. A fourteen- year-old in China killed his family because he thought his mother was not taking care of him properly. When he was ill one night, she ordered him back to bed.Instead, he tabbed his father 37 times, his mother 72 times and his grandmother 56 times. At the young tender age of 8 years old there a child does not know an anything about life and death; therefore you can only charge somebody for a crime if they understand it.
You cannot charge a area-old for stealing if he does not know that when he's taking candy he's stealing; you cannot make a 3-year-old pay for something he broke in a store he does not know better about breaking things.The responsibility f helping a child understand the rights and wrongs of life belongs to the parent's, thus everything wrong the child do is not only the parent's fault but there responsibility as well. Another question that needs to be ask is how did the young buy get the gun in the first place and how did it become accessible to him? Any child under the age of 12 is technically unable to form "meaner real", or the "guilty mind". This is not the same as motive, but instead it meaner that they are unable to have done it intentionally, since they do not fully understand the world.The death penalty, as far as I know (I'm Canadian) is probably reserved for adult offenders, and a child would have to be tried as an adult to be given the death penalty. Also, the length and severity of the sentence depends on the reason for the crime.
For instance, if a kid killed his father because he took his Oxbow away, he'd probably be taken for mental treatment as he is probably crazy. However, if a kid killed his father because he came at him with a knife when he was drunk, he'd probably get a lesser charge.What household happened May also It depend on the state and how the prosecutor is. In some states they might actually try to try the kid as an adult. Which is terrible, but it happens. Mostly they would be tried as a Juvenile or handled in some way, like as a mental health case.
It also depends on whether or not the child understands what he did. At that age, they may not really understand death. If convicted, the child could be sent for counseling, or potentially put in Juvenile hall until they are 18, 21 , or 25, again depending on the state.
