White Pine, Tennessee A little 8-year-old girl refused to let her 11-year-old neighbor play with her puppies. Evidentially, the two had other issues before this. The 11-year-old boy took a shotgun and killed the girl. His name has not been released since he is a minor but he will be charged with murder. My question is this? Do you think the parents of that boy should also be charged in this case?

Seems like there would be some mental issues with the boy that he would shoot and kill a little girl. That's just not a normal thought process no matter how angry a young little boy is. I have a little boy myself and I feel like I have a responsibility to teach him how to deal with his emotions in a way that doesn't harm himself or others, like a group sport. I think the parents should be charged to some extent. I feel that there has to be something going on in the home life to start those thought processes that would lead to him killing an innocent girl. The whole family needs counseling, something isn't right there.
