10 Year Old Kills 12 Year Old.

Yes it's another case of a child killing a child. This time the suspect is just 10 years old. The victim a 12 year old boy that was the hero of the day. The story as told by CNN:

The 12 year old saw what was about to happen. The 10 year old suspect swung a knife at another little boy. The 12 year old remembering what his parents had taught him, moved in front of the suspect. The victims parents had taught their son, if you see a fight; stop it.

That is just what this hero did by stepping in front of the knife that the suspect was swinging. What his parents taught him may have ended his life; but he died a hero to another little boy.

The suspect in this awful case faces no more than 15 years, he must be released by the time he turns 25 if not sooner. His next court date is February 23rd.

Teenage Murderer

Two years have gone by, and finally this murdered girls family is going to see some justice. A 17 year old girl has now pleaded guilty to killing her nine year old neighbor. That's right she killed a 9 year old little girl.

Alyssa Bustamante entered a guilty plea to lesser charges of second degree murder and armed criminal action. The murder occurred on October 21st, 2009 in the death of Elizabeth. Alyssa is scheduled for sentencing on February 6th. She could be facing 10 to 30 years on the second degree murder charge.

Alyssa was 15 at the time she committed the murder. She allegedly  told police that she killed the young girl "just to see what it felt like". Many of her statements were thrown out on grounds that the juvenile officer present during questioning "used deceptive tactics". Reportedly misleading the defendant on what the punishments for her could be.

Thank you to CNN for this updated story.

As the media moves forward through technology, we hear more and more about these types of cases. This sometimes leads people to believe that cases such as this one are happening more often. This is not necessarily true.

Our media reaches all corners of the world now. As such they are able to get more stories in their hands and out to us, the public. Doing just a tad of research on Google shows that children murderers have been affecting our world for many years. Some going way back in time.
