So this kid blows his stepmom away with a shotgun designed for kids. He then tells the cops some fabricated story about an unidentified black truck in the yard, which says he is calculating and cunning and willing to lie to protect his criminal ass.
Conclusion: this kid is on his way to growing up to be a great little criminal. I wonder what or who taught him that it's okay to solve all his problems with a loaded gun?
Too bad because of his age he'll get little in the way of punishment, and his idiot father will likely not suffer much reprisal either, at least not nearly enough (other than losing his wife and unborn kid that is)
I'll say it again, I disagree with the youth crime act in both Canada & the US, I think kids that do this kind of premeditated shit need meaningful sentences that keep them out of society for a long time, meaningful counselling that lasts years, and the parent or parents need to be held responsible in cases where they so obviously are.
Case in point; if your kid's character is such that he's a willful little brat that doesn't always listen (especially about important things like when he's allowed/not allowed to touch a gun) then maybe it's a good idea not to give such a kid a firearm in the first place?
