...And They Lived Happily Ever After!

December 27th 2006 21:34
The story itself was shocking. A 9 year-old boy fatally stabs a 2 year-old girl. Now comes the shock of knowing that no charges will be filed in the case. No one, not even the social worker, will have to pay for this crime.

Not the adults who left a 15 year-old girl to babysit 12 kids. Ten were her siblings, and that included the 9 year-old boy. Not the parents of the boy nor the parents of the victim will be charged. The boy would have faced charges if he was 10!

The toddler was stabbed twice. Although the home had been investigated by a children's agency for allegations of child neglect, none of the children had ever been removed from the home by the agency.


"This mother, we had worked with her several times, mostly to make sure the children's needs were being met," said Marissa Gonzales, a spokeswoman for the agency, told FOX News.

"I don't think there were any indications that any of these children were violent and would harm another child," Gonzales told the television station
