Yep...it was something as a Mental Health/Substance Abuse case worker with juveniles I heard a lot. Try telling that to parents of those kids however and you're the bad guy.

I had a case where as a 4 yr old...he set an animal on fire...as an 8 yr old he stabbed his mother with a pair of scissors. She said he was just being a kid at four...I point blank asked her if she thought he was still being a kid when he stabbed her. Inbetween he was in trouble constantly at school and had three charges...then stabbed her.

We probably will not find out who did this unless one of the kids in the neighborhood says something, if anyone does know anything.
