10-year-old kills 90-year-old

In the article “Cops: Boy, 10, kills woman, 90, for yelling at him” by Ray Sanchez from CNN, the case of a young boy that killed a woman that was probably babysitting for him. The story was that she yelled at him for coming into the room that she was sitting in. He got mad at her and he choked her with a wooden stick while also punching her in the throat. He did not keep hurting her until she died because he only meant to hurt her. It sounds like he hurt her and asked if she was ok and if she wanted to go to the hospital, but she said no. So, Anthony left the room and came back later to find that Novak was dead.


This is a very sad story, and I think it is related to the common youth violence that happens in our society. Kids nowadays have too much experience with really bad violence like killing, guns, hurting others, and bad language from sources like television, video games, and family violence. Parents should try hard to keep their children away from this kind of violence. It is obvious that there is a relationship between the violence that kids watch and the violence they are involved in, and that there is much more of that relationship now than there was in the past. For example, no one would ever expect these kinds of problems to happen back in the 1950’s, because there was not as much violence as there is now.
