Ok I just heard on the news that a 7 or 8 year old girl in FL tried to steal 2 boxes of legos.

Ana, I ask myself this same question almost everyday. My heart breaks for that child b/c she did not get that way from being loved and given attention. My ds has high-functioning autism and some behavior problems come with it, but nowhere NEAR something like that. I still cannot see how a child could PULL A KNIFE on someone. Or how she had the knife and was alone at a store in the first place. Geez!

OMG! That's HORRID. It's really sad that kids see that example and try to follow it. :(


Speaking of what the world's coming to... Has anyone seen updates on that lady who was raped and assaulted, then killed the attacker before he could get to her daughter? I'm really interested to see how they handle it, but I can't remember the original newspaper that carried the story. That'll be a hot-button issue! And it's sooo sad that they arrested her for it. Heinous of them!!

ohhh I read that on another board and was horrified. The article that was posted just told the story, it didn't say that she was arrested. BUT... my response to the article was basically that she did what I would have done, and that I hoped that she wouldn't have charges pressed against her because that is what happens so often, and its sickening. Sad thing is, I was ripped apart for saying that...go figure.


If anyone came into my house, raped, stabbed me 4 times (or whatever it was)

I'm with you there, Lesley! I don't think I would have waited for him to finish with me, if it could have been helped. (Not saying that lady allowed it...please don't misread that.)

don't worry, no misinterpertation here lol. I think the whole story was sick. What was the outcome, have you heard? Was she actually booked and charged with murder? That's very sick.

Nope, haven't heard. I've wondered about it since, though. If anybody here has more info, I'd really like to hear it. :) TIA.
