This is a horrible story
An 8-year-old boy released the parking break on a bus.
The bus rolled forward and killed a second-grader.
Now the boy is being charged with murder.
It was a horrible accident, viagra sale troche but was it a crime?
We’re talking about an 8-year-old.
Could he even conceive the possible consequences of his “playing” on the bus?
Should he be punished? Spanked? Grounded? Made to go to the funeral? Yes. To some degree.
But he’s already going to have to grow up knowing that he caused the death of a completely innocent human being.
Do we really need to put him in court and try him for murder? Why? To serve as an example to other 8-year-olds who are considering playing on a bus?
