Age 8; and a killer!?

People Magazine page 114 Kerri Smith

An 8 year old boy is going to be tried as an adult for murder. I know right ans 8 year old boy charged as an ADULT!! Here is the lowdown on November 5, this third grader supposedly shot his father and a roommate but they don't know why. The boy doesn't have a record and hasn't had any trouble with the law at all. The only thing a family friend could think of is that he got a bad report card, so his father spanked him, and grounded him from going trick-or-treating. What if someone else shot the men, and threatened the boy that if he told the truth they would kill everyone else around him? But for now he is being charged as an adult. In my opinion, stupid choice.

Britney Spears son Jayden had to be rushed to the hospital on November 9, due to a reaction to something he ingested. But he is all better and doing okay. This must happen everyday but its interesting how its only important when it is someone famous who is hurt/injured.

"He had never disobeyed the order to hide. Even as a toddler, barely able to walk in the backyard's tall grass, he had somehow understood the fear in his mother's voice." (Chapter 1, pg. 1)
Luke is a thrid child in his family, but he lives in a country were there is a controled population, two children per family. If a third child is found they get taken away, and never seen or heard of again. Lukes family lives in a rural area where it would be easier to have a third child, but the woods around their house start getting cut down, and luke is told he can never go outside again.
