  1. I have a cousin that is five years younger then me I love her to death she is like my younger sister we spent plenty summers at granny house I adore her I just cant imagine why rip to that little angel taken too soon condolences to the mother

  2. It’s one thing to kill someone in a fit of rage while they were “arguing” for the phone however this girl waited for her cousin to fall asleep and was vulnerable to take her life smh 😢 very calculated

  3. Criminal action should be taken but I’m not sure if trying her as an adult is the right way to go. I don’t know if anyone is paying attention but for kids who have grown addiction to electronics is just as bad as addiction to hard drugs in my opinion. Have you seen how kids react to electronics being taken away? Its not pretty, in no way does that excuse her actions but I believe there are some serious mental health issues that build as children grow electronic addictions and depending on what she was allowed to access on the electronic the ways had to be learned. No child just suffocates someone and repositions a body without being exposed to something so evil.
