Boy of 14 'tried to murder family to get adopted' (http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=40282006)


RAYMOND HAINEY


A 14-YEAR-OLD boy set fire to his home to wipe out his family so that he could be adopted by a rich couple, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
The boy battered his 12-year-old brother over the head with a shovel and axe and then set fire to the house, it was alleged. The blaze killed his younger sister.

The court was told the boy smashed the fire alarms in the house before setting alight a pile of laundry and paper stuffed behind the TV, using his father's lighter.
After burying the axe and a bag full of incriminating items, he fled to a friend's house and claimed a man with a gun had forced him to do it, prosecutor Sir Allan Green, QC, told the London court.
The court heard the boy's parents had managed to escape the "intense" fire by climbing down a rescue ladder. His 16-year-old sister also managed to escape by climbing out of her bedroom window.
But his other sister, aged 11, was unable to escape and was later found to have died from smoke inhalation.
One firefighter described the blaze in the mid-terraced house in south London as the "most intense" she had seen in 17 years of service, the court heard.

Sir Allan told the court another sheet of paper had "factors that could get me caught" written on it and listed "sperm, fingerprints, the axe, clothes, hair," while another listed "things to be buried".

I say try the little lad as an adult.

I say don't try him as an adult. It's a horrible thing, but kids are most unstable at that age, especially in this country.

especially in this country.
It wasn't in this country.

Arson...murder...attempted mass murder.

He isn't a kid. He's a monster who needs to spend the rest of his life in prison.

To hell with trying to understand the little darling's needs.

This 'boy' has some Serious issues, and wont get any better, anytime soon, in fact I would say he's a threat and danger to the community if he can do this kind of thing to his own family.

This boy has a serious problem that I dont see getting 'fixed' or 'cured' anytime soon and just needs to be put out of our misery asap!

At the age of 14 this lad is long past redemption.

Try him as an adult for first degree murder.

[Wolfcounsel]

Execute the SOB. He is a sick, rabid animal.

[Large_Al]

This is premeditated and needs to be treated as such. Hang the little bastard!

[miniCoach]

Thats such a sick and twisted thing to do.

Fry him, please. I don't care if he's young. He knew exactly what he was doing.

[TotallyAtPeace]

Behead him. :bdh: ooops I got carried away....

[routerider]

I think we should skin him alive and use his skull as a bubble gum dispenser.

:question: Is that legal in England?

[DesertFox]

This poor boy has to be understood. Someone should listen to him. Pet him. Tell him how wonderful he is. Build up his esteem. It was all his father's fault, you see, for speaking harshly to the darling child for getting straight F's. And he was almost orphaned! *Sob*

Bleed, hearts.

:rolleyes:

I vote for a lifetime sentence of testing pigs for prostate cancer, bare-handed.

I say don't try him as an adult. It's a horrible thing, but kids are most unstable at that age ...And if not treated, they grow up to be Internet trolls.
