Infant girl dies from being thrown on the floor, by a 7-year old girl

I would disown her if I were the parents.

I'd hate to be the person who has to give a 10-month-old an autopsy. =(

Why does the child HAVE to have a mental disorder, why couldn't she have been doing what every child does and experiencing the world first-hand.

Not in an incredibly safe way but the whole point is we learn by doing, what's to say that she just didn't KNOW the consequences of her actions?

Pinning things straight away on mental disorders = a no-no in my books.

EDIT:

Also, sorry but, saying that you would disown the child, i personally findthat disgusting in itself.

This kid is going to grow up to be a fine upstanding citizen, that's for sure

Except self defense isn't murder.

So, a child killed by a child? Ay yi yi. Psychiatrist is a good idea, and then she needs to be placed on watch for a while to make sure she won't do it again.

I would hate to have to deal with this case.

Self defence is not murder.
Self defence is protecting yourself, if one happens to kill that person for the sake of their own life, then that is protected by the second amendment in the United States Constitution and is not considered murder. (They are in Pittsburg, which I am assuming is in America)
Murder is (you) killing of another when the other has no intent of murdering (you), whether it be by accident or not.
Mentality cases is not murder.
If you are truley disable and do not know right from wrong, then it is not murder.
And insanity cases only are excusible 1/50 of the time.

Kids these days just keep growing more messed up

For some reason I'm reminded of Of Mice and Men.

BTW Self-defense counts as Homicide, but not Murder.

I feel the urge to punch this kid.

Yes it is actually. If someone was trying to kill you, and somehow you ended up killing them

THAT'S CONSIDERED MURDER

Sure you might not be charged with anything, but you still murdered someone.

No, the guy two posts above your has it right.

That's homicide, which is the killing of another human being. Murder is a form of homicide, but murder is used to describe different situations than self defense.

I'm pretty sure the right to bear arms so the US can have a well equipped militia has nothing to do with self defense.

Where was that mentioned?

exactly.
Some people would call it murder, but legally and politically, it is not.
Murder is killing another person unprovoked. (not including insults, because that's not an excuse to kill someone.)

either way, the daycare place should totally lose its license.

The right to bear arms is for the sake of self defence, doesn't matter what kind of weapon (if any) it is,.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

its for the country's defense, not the idividual's

And where would the country be without it's individuals?

I didn't write the amendment.

In order for the country to be safe, it's individual's must be safe, therefore, the 2nd amendment is for individuals in the country to stay safe, and the right to bear arms is considered self defence for the country and it's individuals.

Lol, my dad's a lawyer, I know my American ****.

self defense isn't a reason for murder where I live
