Republicans??? The DEMOCRAT LIBERALS are the party of no self discipline. The DEMOCRATS are the ones who rush to benefit from the low information and low moral voters of this country. They are the ones that believe in free sex and abortion no matter what and the ill conceived children associated with this case will grow up dependent on society just like the Democrats want them to be! Republicans - I don't think so!

No problem..I guess I need to change my avatar.

Sorry nativejax…It seems that your 'avatar' is also being used by another….I didn't look closely enough! My bad! Sorry!

EXCUSE ME tlynn you need to REREAD my posts, I did not bring politics into this conversation at all.

nativejax, and bobjones….politics HAS NOTHING to do with this situation! This is a human tragedy… NOT a political affair!

All the adults in this childs life failed him. To correct somethings. He was 12 when this happened, not 14. His mother was a child having a child and I'm sure he had to take care of his younger sibling. His bio father should have been arrested for impregnating a child. Where was DCF? Do you honestly think that this child wanted this kind of life? And the horrible things I've read from some of the adults who wrote their opinion, should be ashamed of themselves. Children don't stand a chance in Florida. This has got nothing to do with being liberal. It's got everything to do with caring for our children and protecting them, they are a gift from God. Today it looks as though there is war on our children. Without them we seize to exist. What happen to compassion?

This child was abused, no doubt… His mother was abused, no doubt. That does not excuse what happened to the younger brother, but, It does tell me that this child needs a mental health evaluation, and help! What he does not need, and what will NOT help him, is a sentence to a jail or prison! This child can be and should be given a chance to be 'rehabilitated'. We as a society owe this cild no less!!!!

This kid started out as a baby to a 12 year girl. His bio father is a registered sex offender. No one protected his mother when she was a little girl. She gave birth, kept the child, went on to have other children. It is not surprise that this happened. My heart goes out to this boy. His actions were that of a kid. He surely did not set out to kill his little brother. I hope he completes his education and when released goes on to contribute to society in a positive way.

Angela Corey knuckled under to the same bleeding heart liberals that will be screaming when this psyhco is released and kills someone else.How is first degree murder as an adult dropped to manslaugter as a juvenile?

What do the Republicans have to do with what the kid did to his brother? If anything, like you said, look deeper into the problem within the home. But clearly at 14 yrs old, a person has the capacity to know right from wrong. He's clearly a mental case and if we're injecting politics into this, blame the Democrats and their Utopian visions.
