A 12-year-old girl is accused of smothering and killing her 8-year-old cousin over an iPhone. According to the county's prosecutor, a security camera recorded the killing inside the bedroom the young girls shared. The recording shows the older child using bedding to suffocate her cousin as she slept in the top bunk. After the child died, the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body.

  • Completely disagree. If she knew to reposition the body, it's because she knew the consequences, no matter how young she is. Psychopathic tendencies at a young age should always be taken very serious.

    Give me a break lady, at 12 years old I knew better than to murder my siblings or cousins. 🙄😑
  • @megsley
    i love that they allowed him to say "they need to lock her a$$ up!" because he's right!
  • @arthursettles
    lady this 12 year old knew exactly what she was doing stop the cap.
  • Adults do the same thing too though. She literally propped her cousin up and made it seem like she didn't kill her. That's a wicked kid.
  • @annagarza7299
    The 12 yr old is DANGEROUS if she can KILL her little cousin she can KILL anyone !!!😮 when I was 12 yrs old I knew right from wrong she knew what she was doing 🤬
  • @TonyaNicole7
    If she killed you’re daughter ma’am would you feel the same way
  • Girl bye she needs to be tried as an adult. At 12 you know what killing is
  • Not FAIR to try her as an adult??? She killed a child who will NEVER get to become an adult!!
  • This lady said her brain hasnt fully developed but it was developed when she cleand and repositioned the body.

    Some of the kids today are weird. I promise it’s the stuff they are watching on YouTube and playing on Roblox. My 13-year-old niece, she obsessed with her phone and you can't tell her anything. She gets frustrated and upset over the smallest things. One day she was gonna spend a night at my house and I was like nah. My energy just didn’t trust her and to be around my kids. I be paying attention to some of these kids, they are off in the head.

    Stop downsizing a murderer. She had to show in action WRONG behaviors before this escalated and nobody did nothing. They just handed this 8 yr old victim over to a 12yr old angry vindictive murder.
  • Poor baby girl. My “attempted slayer” was 12 years old… so… I’m not surprised. I do NOT believe this was the first time the teenage girl did any to the little child. The girl hurt me on a weekly basis before the big incident. I was too scared to tell. I was only 5 years old back in 1987. I unfortunately learned how to disassociate myself from my body, because the pain was unbearable. She did it out of REVENGE, because I told the truth about her stealing cash out of my mom’s purse and she wanted me to blame my 1 year old brother. She ended up pregnant at age 14 and was always in trouble. In 2003, I gotta call from my mom telling me she saw her on the Chicago news: her daughter died in a fire. I don’t wish death on anybody, I left it in Gods hands. I’m just more of a helicopter parent to my OWN children, especially in this messed up society. PLEASE… monitor your kids. 🚩👀💅🏾💯

    She killed her cousin. Yes, it is fair for the murderer to get tried as an adult.
  • Look that girl is 12 year old, and even though our brains are not fully developed at 12, we still know right from wrong. She positioned her body to pretend like she was sleeping, so that right there is proof she knew what she was doing. Also we got to remember what times we are in. I will be 35 and its nothing like it was when I was younger. We didn't have cellphones, tablets, we didn't have social media. Today these kids have any and everything and it easy for them to access all types of different things. These kids are not dumb by a long shot how people are making them out to be. Yes i think she need to be mentally evaluated, but she deserves jail time. If you can kill someone over a phone ain't no telling what else she would do.
  • 12 year olds are NOT the same from a few years ago. These children are born GROWN
