What a horrible situation. While this boy is only 12-years old, the act that he committed is very disturbing. And from what this story says, all because a baby was crying and it irritated that boy enough to pull out a wooden baseball bat and beat her with it.
The obvious question is why? Maybe for me it's easy to handle the crying of a baby or a toddler; I took care of them for 12+ years, it's easy for me to sit here and question this...but what's most troubling is his actions. He is just a boy...Would this boy grow up and turn into one of those men that abuses his baby? Would he turn into a criminal?
Should he be committed for life? Is rehabilitation something that would help him? So many other questions loom but this is really sad.
