CTYers beware

[asterroc]

When you push your kids too hard, things like this can happen. I wonder why the defense didn't file a counter-claim of emotional and psychological abuse against the surving parent.

Jeebus.
I've known kids who were pushed but none like that. It doesn't take a psychologist to see that the pressure she was under from her parents cracked her. Maybe it's because of my own intellect and the trouble I (still) have with social stuff and life coping skills, but I feel terrible for this girl. That she didn't go on a shooting spree is impressive.
I'm really shocked the defense didn't try a temporary insanity argument.
So very sad.

I'm hoping they didn't and she'll later appeal on the claim that she had an incompetent defense. If they DID try temporary insanity and child abuse and failed, then I lose even more faith in the US justice system. There's not that much left, folks!
