A 12-year-old girl in Tennessee has been charged with murder, accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin as the younger girl slept. A relative said they had been arguing over an iPhone.
A security camera recorded the killing, inside the bedroom they shared on July 15 in Humboldt, Tennessee, the county prosecutor said.
The recording shows the older child using bedding to suffocate her cousin as the younger girl slept in the top bunk, Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee’s statement said. After the child died, “the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body,” Agee said.
A relative told WREG-TV in Memphis that the girls had been arguing over an iPhone after coming from out of town to stay with their grandmother.
Nooo come on, let millennials be the ones to leave this generational war stuff in the past.
We as a species love to judge people based on their age. And it goes both ways. Us millenials will be as reviled as boomers are by the younger folks soon. And I’m sure more and more millenials like OP will make dumbass comments about those same young folks in return. It’s the circle of life.
I too wish we could all judge people based on their actions rather than their age. But it’ll never happen
I can’t deny my age, now can I?
Yeah but you can choose to not post.
Sigh I’m a millennial (82) with a gen alpha kid, and you’re an idiot.
I guess I am then when I see all those parents with their strollers in trams and underground tubes staring down their phones instead of giving their kids any attention.
