13-year old boy killed after he was punched and hit his head at school

[Jotaux]

I never thought the day would come where I would agree with Themius.

[Themius]

No, that's what I get from you doing nothing but defending the kids who attacked him and saying absolutely nothing about the kid who died.

What exactly is there to say? Sad tragic death ok... so kill some more kids?

Other than Juvie and psych evaluations there is not much more to be done as punishment.

The topic has way too many people wanting to kill children because some other children accidentally killed another child.

Kid was bullied before...and the two teens have been arrested, will be charged as juveniles...2 Teens Charged in Connection With Fatal Sucker-Punch of 13-Year-Old Boy at Moreno Valley School

An already emotional vigil held for Diego at the school on Wednesday night became heated when the crowd spotted Moreno Valley Unified School District Superintendent Martinrex Kedziora, chasing after him and demanding answers.

Surrounded by sheriff’s deputies, Kedziora didn’t say a word as he was escorted into the building.

“When is it going to stop?” asked Eindah Phillips, a student. “At this point, I don’t even think it’s the students anymore. I think it’s … the district not doing nothing about it.”

Other students who spoke with KTLA echoed those concerns, as did parents.

“Bullying has happened in this school district for too many years,” said one parent who identified herself only as Margaret. “My son in elementary school. He was bullied.”

Margaret told KTLA that nothing was done beyond in that case beyond telling the student to apologize, and that the bullying continued.

“The kid was still there and kept it up,” she said.

All things considered, these two dumbfuck teens need to realize that they're on the fast-track to being career criminals...if they survive long enough.

Oh look, being an edgelord and wanting two more dead kids is the anwer for some. Really, people? Is that the best you can do?
This internet indifferent dickwaving about casually wanting the death for every sin imaginable is incredibly vexing.

That's a somewhat fair assessment, still doesn't mean they deserve to serve life in prison or be put to death.

Try them for their crime, punish them accordingly but life in prison or the death penalty is ridiculously overboard.

THEY'RE KIDS!

Pretty much every teacher and parent and other people I've heard when they make excuses for bullies.

It’s also part of child psychology. According to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, you don’t reach cognitive though until around 12:

Children are not physically or psychologically, little adults.

[Shadowferal]

Well...had they been 16yrs old, this argument would be different...here.
I've a feeling that in other countries, maturity level would come into more of a question.

Something is very wrong.

Since the birth of the internet, young people are being desensitized to violence.

This is why I call for internet regulation. It is doing harm to our people’s minds.

So fights didn’t happen any other period?

Yeah, rape has also never happened before the invent of the internet as well.

The fuck is wrong with you people wanting to kill children for getting into fights? Fights happen quite frequently among those ages, it is clearly an accidental death. Do you want to kill every kid that hits another kid? Unforeseen outcomes should not determine the severity of punishment as they're "unforeseen"

how is intentionally punching someone accidental? usually if an action that someone performs against another individual leads to their death they are charged with some form of homicide charge. this is not news.

[Fantomen]

how is intentionally punching someone accidental?

Under all normal circumstances intentionally punching someone will not cause death, hence it was a accidental death.

[I Push Buttons]

New article says they were charged with assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury... Why weren't they charged with battery with serious bodily injury as well since, you know, they actually fucking hit him? Not to mention manslaughter.

[dunhildas]

You seem to want to throw out the facts of brain development is not mature and the fact that higher executive functions are poor in 12-13 year olds especially as THEIR BRAINS ARE LITERALLY NOT FULLY MATURED AND FORMED YOU ARE THE ONE MAKING EXCUSES, trying to excuse your own barbarism ways of wanting to kill children.

It's funny, because I live in London and I deem those that murder others or carry a knife deserves to be locked away for life, the only difference here I can see this kid didn't intend to kill, so I can't support a life sentence for a sucker punch, if he had a weapon? Hell yeah I would.


What's your stance on Abortion? Not sure how someone can take a moral high ground if they support abortion while you moan about not being fully formed and developed.

They jumped him and kicked him while he was down, not exactly an ordinary fight. Though, I don't agree with all the death chants.

Kids don't think jumping people like that thought is actually going to kill people.

I generally have to disagree when people make such generalizations, the second kids take something too far. Kids have killed and hazed/jumped with the intention of killing or nearly killing before. I view the death as accidental, but those kids came with an intent to seriously harm that child. That much is clear from them beating him as a group and continuing to beat him after he first collapsed.

They may not have expected him to die, but that can't be excused when they intended to seriously harm him in the first place. Someone's child is dead because of the actions of other children. I think the situation deserves more grace than the generalizations people are giving. I can't even imagine what the parents are going through, or what harassment the victim's family is suffering. The number of times I see a victim's family demonized or ignored in favor of virtue signaling for the offenders is depressing. Especially by their own community. "You want a boy to lose his future, because your boy is dead? How can you be so selfish."

I'd say let the authorities handle this before casting stones in anyone's favor.

Yeah, these kids need to be punished severely. Calling for death is a bit disgusting but "they're just kids" is just as bad imo. There's punching a kid for him to accidentally fall to his death, then there's punching a kid three times, one while he's already down after hitting his head on a pillar. Fuck them.

[Katie N]

Put them in front of a firing squad and then put blanks in their guns and then after put them in prison.

Traumatized kids because what’s the worse that can happen....

Kids are cruel and reactionary.

And saying they’re just kids don’t kill them is as bad to you As saying to kill the what the fuck?
