Well, did someone get him the damn headset?  This could quickly get out of control.

I see he ordered it himself.  Pity the fool who returns it or cancels the order.

"Relatives said the boy has a history of disturbing behavior. When he was 4, he swung the family's puppy around by its tail, the complaint says. Six months ago, family told police, the boy filled a balloon with a flammable liquid and set it on fire, causing an explosion that burned furniture and the carpet. Relatives recalled that when asked about that, the boy said he hears five imaginary people talking to him."

Excitable boy, they all said.

The country has taught children to handle disagreements the same way adults do all of the time now.

What's worse is it almost worked... that kid ordered the product after he handled 'the problem' that was keeping him from being able to do so.

The vr headset was probably cheaper than the gun. How did a 10 year old that they knew had mental problems get a gun.

The boy was charged as an adult last week with first-degree reckless homicide.

As bad as this is a ten year old is never an adult. Can't buy a PG-13 ticket

This is one of those people who are broken from the start.  I'm sure people will argue against him being executed because he's "just a child." in which case he needs to be locked away for life.  But for the same reason he won't be. And so we are going to have another Jeffrey Dahmer or Edmund Kemper.

Quick, somebody start teaching him forensics and prejudicing him against murderers who have been let off easy.  And their accomplices in Uvalde.

Gallants parents get him help and kept dangerous things locked up and inaccessible when he showed signs of mental illness and animal cruelty.

Goofus's parents gave him a gun.

In the court of universal justice, the penalty for failing to secure a firearm from a 10-year-old with mental health issues may very well be death.

Yeah you have a kid that mentally disturbed and you have a gun in the house? Yeah you deserve it. Kid needs to be in a child psychology center for treatment. Needs meds too. Kid obviously wasn't getting help he needed.

According to the criminal complaint, the boy's grandmother said he told her, "I'm sorry for killing my mom," then asked if his Amazon package had arrived.

Relatives said the boy has a history of disturbing behavior. When he was 4, he swung the family's puppy around by its tail, the complaint says. Six months ago, family told police, the boy filled a balloon with a flammable liquid and set it on fire, causing an explosion that burned furniture and the carpet.

Holy smokes ... a real, live sociopath. The gun was locked up, he retrieved the keys, retrieved the gun, loaded the weapon. He fired a warning shot. He sounds like a very intelligent 10 year old. He showed no remorse.

Groom him right and he'll make a fine CEO one day. Otherwise, lock him up and perform super soldier science experiments on him.

Example #3409587 why I keep yammering for mandatory proper storage of firearms as law. Doesn't even have to be an $800 armored safe, just something childproof.

The only thing that will happen in Adult court is the motion to move it to Juvie and that will be sealed.

Even in Juvie, the kid is under 13 and there isn't going to be a facility that can take him legally. The very best case scenario is the kid is put in a long term CA psych joint and those are almost nonexistent. 

Like it or not, there is a nonzero chance he gets released to the custody of his family.

FTFA: They also said he logged into his mother's Amazon account and ordered an Oculus Virtual Reality Headset the morning after she died. That same morning, he physically attacked his 7-year-old cousin.
According to the criminal complaint, the boy's grandmother said he told her, "I'm sorry for killing my mom," then asked if his Amazon package had arrived.

Yeah, I know he's only 10 years old, but for the sake of society I think we need to buy this little monster a hot needle.

Yes, almost. The issue is guns generally are too abundant and that enabled him to get access to one.

If the kid had knowledge of and access to the key, it wasn't really locked up, was it?
