This story breaks my heart and nearly brings me to tears.
An eight year-old boy in Arizona murdered his father with a rifle the other day in Arizona. The murder seems to be premeditated. By all accounts, the father was loving and non-abusive, and seemed to do everything right. He did however, just remarry, but sources say he went everywhere with his boy (fishing, baseball games, ect.) and that no one ever expected such a thing to happen.
HOW DOES AN 8 YEAR OLD COMMIT PREMEDITATED MURDER!!??
Has our society gone so far as to be able to strip such a young boy of any innocence? How can such a boy, still in the midst of pre-concrete operational thinking possibly premeditate the murder of his OWN FATHER! This doesn't makes sense to me. It is truly a tragedy in that it seems to go beyond all nature and common knowledge of father-son relationship and human development.
I have no answers on this one...only questions...
