An 18yr old girl wanted to experience what it would be like to kill someone so she plotted and planned to kill the 9yr old girl next door. She dug a grave and then when she was alone with the child, she strangled her and stabbed her, then buried her in the hole that she dug. I don't know all the details about how the body was found and how the 18yr old was accused and arrested but at her trial, she sincerely apologized and said that she wished she could give her own life to get the little girl back. Her defense attorney tried to have the life sentence reduced by saying that the 18yr old did not have an adult sense of right and wrong. That got me thinking that we only have a few short years to teach our children right and wrong and then they are held accountable for knowing it. <br />OTOH, if I have given tzedukah money properly, I should not have to feel guilty if I buy myself an ice cream cone rather than give all the money in my pocket to the street beggars. rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750230430610565818noreply@blogger.com
