17 in 9th grade.

I have a child with a mental disorder in which his mental capacity is of a 7 year old in a 11 year old body. So I do understand the defense. But what I don’t understand is that even though she would have been obviously told NOT to have touch or mess with the gun, WHY was it left out where it was accessible to her?Children with this disorder become irrational and sometimes act on impulse when fiercely agitated. But you can’t treat them like they’re disabled or, like a young child, they’ll manipulate the situation. It’s exhausting.She was 17 in the 9th grade. She knew where it was. She knew how to use it. But no actual realization of what she did could have had happened until later. This is based on the ” mental status “defense and my personal knowledge of it. I guess we’ll see we’ll see when the show airs. It’s not on the roster, I’ve looked but whatever.

And why did the kid have such easy access to a gun? The parents should have been charged.

@Kane First prison is not meant to be a luxury living facility. They should go to primitive housing. Tents and gardens and fans. We have elderly in this country that can’t afford AC and they have done nothing wrong. That being said here are some facts. This seems like a lot of money the taxpayers are putting out.
According to the Vera Institute of Justice, incarceration costs an average of more than $31,000 per inmate, per year, nationwide. In some states, it’s as much as $60,000. Taxpayers foot the bill for feeding, housing and securing people in state and federal penitentiaries.
Prisons must at all times provide: adequate levels of security; program and administrative staff to run facilities and both supervise and provide services for incarcerated persons; food and programming for the people under their care, including sufficient recreational and educational opportunities; infrastructure maintenance and upkeep, including electricity and other operational costs; and, increasingly, higher levels of specialized health care for a growing population with significant levels of physical and mental health concerns.

@Dave bud you’re living in a fantasy world spun up by politicians that want nothing more then your vote and are willing to make you scared of your own shadow to get it.

I have relatives in prison and I will tell you now they work, they don’t get to watch a lot of television if any, the food is some of the worst food you will eat in your life ( it is prison after all), commissary is NOT FREE the prisoners get money from friends and family NOT TAXPAYERS (well we are taxpayers but it’s our money not government money).

Medical is NOT FREE they have to pay to see the doctor and most of the time it’s a nurse NOT A DOCTOR they get to see if they don’t have the money it goes on their commissary accounts and whatever money they are sent from outside pays for it.

They don’t get “schooling” unless they are about to get out and then only if they are at a prison that offers any “schooling” at all.

Before you start running off about something you obviously know NOTHING about educate your self.

Even after a few years, it’s difficult to see a child die in this manner. It would benefit us all if we could do something to stop the mentally ill from gaining access to weapons.

Though these were youths in this tragedy, it is an example of how things have become in this world – the value of material things has replaced the value of human life. People are dying over material things – in the end the people are gone and those material things are still around.

This is going to be the new norm. Criminals are getting even more and more rights so soon you’ll see erosion of society morals and values even further. The government is incentivizing criminal behavior through generational welfare and relaxing of laws. Just imagine a completely open border on top of all the violent crimes and drugs piling up in your city. Soon YOULL be a victim of a violent crime and the CRIMINAL will have more rights than the victim. Victim goes to hospital, criminal goes to jail with two hot meals, TV, commissary, no work, recreation, schooling free medical. But the victim is on their own….
