6 year old shooter to be punished

Yeah. That'll each him not to commit premeditated murder.

I know about the limited moral development of someone this age, but if this is all that happens, I'd bet everything I own that we'll hear about this kid killing again.

Here in NC, the penalty for simply bringing a gun to school is expulsion for the year.

He gets 90 days out of school. A vacation to him.......

What punishment will WE recieve for his actions!

This kid has been learning this kind of "lesson" all six years. That's why disarming him won't work; if they'd set out to create a murderer they couldn't have thought of a better way.
Is he going to spend 90 days at NO school and then just be plopped back into that one? This can't be the whole story. I shouldn't say that, but I really HOPE this isn't the whole story. I get in trouble every time I say "they can't be doing that, it's too stupid."
 
Well, yesterday's papers, 03/09/00, state that he will be expelled from the school and not alowed to return. What punishment beyond that is not stated. However, from the statements made by the Genesee County Prosecutor about how the kid needs a hug, I would not expect much.

Is that 90 school days or 90 calendar days? The significance is that 90 school days is only 3 months, not quite a semester and he may still graduate on time. 90 calendar days means that he will fall back half a year, suffer the humiliation of going to school with younger, less mature children, be subject to ridicule from his peers and thus suffer a lifelong problem with his self-esteem. Where are the bleeding hearts when we need them? Oh, the system is cruel. Hardly...

A 6 year old is not beyond redemption. I he is, then there is something wrong with society. Don't get me wrong, my hearts not bleeding here, but I cannot justify writing off a little kid. Take him out of the crack house. Give the kid a bed. Provide some supervision. The kid can only go up from the bottom he has found himself at.

So they are going to suspend the kid from what K or FIRST GRADE?? Does that child even have any understanding what suspension is? You're right , it is a vacation for him. That child NEEDS to be taken out of that home, put into a loving patient home, and LOTS of professional help. As I said on another thread with the same topic, that child was not born with that anger and hate, he was TAUGHT it. He needs to get out of there, he needs a real home, he needs lots of love, and most of all counseling.

Punishment has its place. Teaching and healing needs to go on, here. MODELING must take place. My mom works for Child Protective Services, and would be working night and day to get a permanent removal from that home.

Folks, I'm not a bleeding heart liberal, but can we not agree that the little BOY is a victim, here, as well?
 
Well stated, Long Path.

People who want to punish a 6 year old who lived in a crack house because of a sense of vengeful wrath are very immature.

Anyone of you in that environment could be that kid.

Interesting how many want to fry the kid but
then have hissy fits about the TX Project Exile?

Give the kid a chance for a good restart of his life.
 
I feel nothing but sadness towards this little kid. However, I think that all adults involved in the raising of this kid should be punished with no quarter given. They are responsible for killing that little girl and basically throwing this boy's life away. Of course, to do that, the liberals would actually have to criticize and condemn the lifestyle of the very people that they pander to.
 
It is a sorry thing to see how too many kids are being brought up (or not) these days. Ive read that this is the era of the absent or runaway man in the lives of children, the statement has an unfortunate ring of truth to it. Parental skills in general seem to have declined. Many children are either spoiled silly or neglected and not kept track of. Where is the effort of love in either of these?
Still, it makes me smile all the more when I see that dad playing with his kids, or mom gently but firmly correcting hers. There are good parents out there, god bless em! They have a heck of a job.
