I totally agree with Catherine...these kids are only 3rd graders and have somehow been corruputed by society at their early age. I was reading posts on the daily herald website and I think it does stem from the home environment. We dont know what exactly went on with these kids, but the parents should be involved enough to know that instead of playing with barbies, their little girl is planning a murder. But their 3rd graders, and kids are impressionable...so one kid comes up with an idea and the rest follow. All i know is that i will have kids only when i can devote all of my time to them, so i could be able to notice things like a murder plot.
