This is incredibly sad but it's not without precedent. Mary Bell was an 11-year-old girl who killed two younger children.

Good God that poor girl and her family. It doesn't bare thinking about does it.

Sadly though, the state this world is in I'm not shocked.
RIP AnaFlowers.

So sad. There was also another story a few weeks ago about a girl who was 14/15 who was raped and murdered by a 16yo boy.

There are no words. And yes, I am on the internet so may be a tad hypocritical, but I do think it tips people over the edge of fantasising, to actually doing.

It said in the link that they hadn't been connected to her murder, or is that for legal reasons?

Ah james bulger murder

crunchymint · 19/05/2018 18:37

Yes there is a more recent update, but the link would not post here - no idea why.

There's been a massive rise in child on child sexual assault and I guess in some cases it can end up as murder. No surprise really when you think about the relatively easy access to porn and not even that, the music video's on YouTube are some of the most sexualised, mysoginistic films you'll ever see.

Christ that poor girl!! What she must have suffered! Sad RIP Ana.

What sort of animals are people raising?

I live quite near where this happened. It's so shocking.
I suspect that probably other teenagers were involved. Just horrific.
Many families destroyed.

TeenTimesTwo · 19/05/2018 19:14

It's good we are shocked really.
If it becomes common place enough to not be shocked, that will be worrying.
(See school shooting in the USA, there is a sad inevitability about them).

MiggeldyHiggins · 19/05/2018 19:19

You're shocked but no 13 year old boys have been accused at all, have they?
Why do people post shit like this? Does it make you feel good for some reason?

Pebblespony · 19/05/2018 19:21

Where does it say a 13 yr old is accused?

EightdaysaweekIloveu · 19/05/2018 19:38

The Gardai did state a 13 year old boy has been identified as a suspect.

I don't understand your post MiggledyHiggins ** Why are you asking the if people feel good about themselves, 'why do people post this shit'?

crunchymint · 19/05/2018 19:43

The Sun Irish Times says the boy has been charged. I don't make things up.

In all fairness OP, you didn't say that. But you're right. It is shocking.

Pebblespony · 19/05/2018 19:53

Where did you see that @crunchymint? I can't see anything. I'm not saying you didn't see it. I'm interested but can't find any update.

crunchymint · 19/05/2018 19:56

I tried to post the link in my opening post, but it wouldn't post.

OP posts:
Pebblespony · 19/05/2018 20:01

Tried to Google it there. No luck. Wonder if it's been taken down for some reason. That might be why it wouldn't allow you to link?

crunchymint · 19/05/2018 20:18

That would make sense. Maybe they were wrong and he has not been charged, only questioned?

After the James Bulger murder, sadly nothing surprises me in regards to child murderers anymore. (Shocks, yes; surprises, no).

''After the James Bulger murder, sadly nothing surprises me in regards to child murderers anymore. (Shocks, yes; surprises, no)''

This. Yep and even with stories like Fritzl or the acid attacks like Katie Piper's.... Frankly, nothing shocks me about crimes or evil carried out by man or child anymore. Some people are just born evil.
