    I wonder how we failed this kid 😕 underfunding schools is an easy one to point at but I’m sure there were a lot of other opportunities to reintegrate this child

    He should be tried as an adult, locked up and the key thrown away. Enough with the coddling – he took a life, he can give his away

  3. Just save everyone the bullshit and let the fucker loose now, that’s what they’re going to do anyway

  4. Jesus christ 13? I’m curious how the home situation is like if he’s venting his angers or frustrations via a fatal stabbing.

    It is time that we amend the Youth criminal rules in a way that youths charged with a severe crime, such as murder, can be identified.

    We are not talking about a shoplifter here or a punk who spray painted a graffiti on a wall…

  6. I think it’s time to adjust the young offenders act where any violent crime should not be covered under the YOA. The YOA should be used to protect the kids who make mistakes like shoplifting.

    Lot of comments wondering how we failed this kid. I recommend learning about being a “Toronto mans” and the weird aura surrounding it right now. Youth gangs and crime are insane in Toronto right now. Kids seriously think their bangers at that age.

  8. Wow, just 13 years old and killed somebody. What would bring him to do that?
    So sad for everybody.
    This kid should be watched for the rest of his life.

    Massive loophole for grooming teenagers to do dirty work for you. No repercussions. A year of probation and online courses and you’re all cleaned up.

    13 years old, and he’s out at a plaza in downtown TO at midnight.

    I’m sure he came from exceptional parents.

    I’m beginning to really hate the young offender BS. It just seems like kids are too aware they’re basically invincible until they’re 18.

  11. There are some devilish people born into this world.  You see them at 1 year and you see them at 10 ..  sometimes they learn how to hide it sometimes they don’t.  Little fuckers should taken care of earlier in their life
