Of COURSE the kid shouldn't be criminally charged.  He should stay in some kind of an institution for the rest of his life though.  I'm still waiting for them to charge his parents criminally.  And I'm still waiting for them to charge the administrators who either ignored the issue or who openly refused to implement a safety plan.  They ALL need to spend time in jail.  [/quote]
I thought it was interesting that the child can’t be part of the juvenile system either. How is the community being assured that he is being rehabilitated? This child needs to be in intensive treatment and it should be mandatory and state monitored. [/quote]

This child likely cannot be rehabilitated. There are some medical conditions where there is a biologically (brain) based issue, including complete inability to feel any empathy.  It may be possible to achieve that he can live in society without killing someone, but it’s going to be difficult and require intense inpatient commitment.  There are only a few locations in the US equipped to deal with this. If not addressed appropriately, he will escalate his violence as he gets older.[/quote]

I have absolutely no idea if the child can be socialized properly.  But, I would never claim that he could not be rehabilitated without knowing a whole lot more.  I can say that the parent has shown imcompetence by having a gun within reach of the child.[/quote]

Sorry, but the kid has two assault/attempted manslaughter strikes at the age of 6. He tried to choke his K teacher and he shot his 1rst grade teacher. We know of the destruction of his teachers phone and bringing bullets to school in the week before he shot his teacher. And those are just the instances that we know of. I would bet that his file is pretty darn thick.

At the very least, this child needs to be removed from his parents care and placed in intensive therapy. He should not be in a mainstream school or classroom.  [b]His track record sure screams future murderer to me[/b]. I would be pissed if I found out that he was in kids classroom, not to mention petrified. [/quote]

The kid is 6, not 16.  Anything is possible but he will definitely grow and mature before he reaches his majority.  Y'all need to get a grip.[/quote]
