HUMBOLDT, TN - The Gibson County District Attorney's Office has officially charged a 12-year-old girl with murder after being accused of smothering her eight-year-old cousin as she slept over an argument involving an iPhone.

According to WFLA, the county prosecutor, Frederick Agee said that a security camera recorded the killing, which took place inside of a bedroom they shared. The incident took place on Monday, July 15th. Agee said that the recording shows the older child using bedding to suffocate her cousin as the younger girl slept in the top bunk.

Agee also said that after the child died, "the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body." The girl has been charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence after authorities obtained video of the incident.  ...

Looks like the young lady has leadership qualities that will serve her well.  In prison.

This is one of the things that disturb me the most.  So many of our young people seem to lack a conscience.

The victim was Demeria Hollingsworth.

Her first name speaks volumes to the situation. And yes, I will say that. It speaks to poor family choices and it speaks to the mindset that abhors traditional values.

And then things like this happen and these amoral types shake their heads and wonder How? when the answer is right in front of them.

No doubt the killer is sad because she's in trouble and she's probably angry that no one understands that killing a cousin over a phone is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Easy prediction here: This child is not the last person who will die at the hands of this killer.

I'm concerned for the entire generation. These kids have been brought up without any sort of guidance, moral absolutes, or discipline.

I was one of them. My parents were secular Hollywood Democrats and that was how I was brought up. Then the lie of that life was revealed to me and I started seeking something else. I found it and that life brought me to Jesus.

I am loathe to say that I have faith because my understanding of Jesus and of God came through living a godly life and then realizing one day that the reason a godly life is good is because God is real and true.

I am doing my best to pass this along to my kids and I hope and pray that they will be as happy as I have become.

You can thank the Great Society for laying the groundwork for that

Weather breaking up families was an intentional or unintended consequence of the program doesn’t matter. The results are the same
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
