That's scary. If he can do that at 10 and boast about it what could he do at 15 or 20? Besides needing serious psychoanalysis can he really be cured from that? Is just being locked away forever the best?

Wow, this is a bizarre case. He was talking himself up, but all kids do that, so it may not be a tell-tell sign that this kid is going to continue to be a killer. He may be unaware of what it real and not real. Before anyone jumps on me with this one, let me remind you that there is digital imagery everywhere and I think all parents are guilty to placing kid in front of the iPad or tele for a bit of a breather or what ever. Now, think of that parent that just puts little Johnny in front of the iPad 24/7 without any real guiding, this kid may have been in a constant digital world since age 3. So, before we can judge this kid, we need more facts. The fact that he was in foster care could go with the no strong guiding of this kid's viewing. I hope this kid can be supported because I really don't like the idea of throwing him into jail for the rest of his life.

You have a good point on that Jchampers and it makes sense that if he is praising himself about it means he does not understand the gravity of what happened. Still it is a very sorry situation for all involved; the victim, the killer 10 year old, and the parents of both children.
