This case occurred in nearby Philadelphia (last year, if I recall) and stirred things up for awhile.
At least her victims warrented some attention in this article, though one hopes (it is unlikely) that anyone who helped mold Miriam into a monster - if blame can be levelled at individuals - will be held accountable.
One thing for sure - I don't want little Miriam "rehabbed" enough to ever be set free in society, unless her caretakers are willing to pay for whatever sorrow she spreads. Whether or not an individual such as Miriam can be held accountable for her actions is irrelevant; the fact that she currently and likely always will represent a threat to the human beings around her is the critical issue here.
