Caught the tail end of this on the news today, but I found this link to the story.
What really made my mouth drop was when I saw this part:
"Police spokeswoman Elizabeth Watts said a motive was "probably just typical teenage angst."
Typical teenage angst??? Umm...sorry, but I call BS on that. Attempted murder IMO, is not typical teen angst. Well, unless you're some sort of teen nutjob, in which case, if you've done things like this before, then IMO, you should be locked up somewhere, not walking around on the streets. Hey, I think its safe to say that as kids, we've all had our share of spats with our parents, but I never once tried to kill them.
CLEARWATER, Fla. - An 11-year-old Florida girl and her 15-year-old boyfriend are accused of plotting to kill the girl's mother by setting her bedroom on fire while the woman slept Tuesday, police said.
Samantha Broadhead and Jack Ault have been charged with attempted murder and arson after the fire in Clearwater, about 20 miles west of Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast.
