This doesn't pass the smell test....

Unless the 25/19 year olds were part of some kind of mentorship program that is being hidden from the press for the moment, or this was one bad ass gang bangin 13 year old, don't know how it would work.

I wholeheartedly agree unless the 25 year old was a friend of her parents or the family.

Perhaps, but when I was 25 there was no way I wanted to be hanging around with a 13 year old, friend of the family or not.

I agree! I suppose I'm just commenting on the use of the term friend.

This dosn't seem "normal" to me.
 
Sad, I feel really sorry for the Mother at this moment. She knew the area was bad and wanted to move. She warned her daughter not to hang with the girl. Too bad she could not have just kept her inside. Thankfully my eldest son is 11 and not bugging to go outside to hang with the other kids. I imagine if you tell them no they would make a big stink about it.

Jade - as I read the Star article there is no mention of the victim living with her mother, in fact I don't recall anything about the mother. The victim lived with her father. I feel sorry for him.
 
What I find unusual in this case are that the accused are charged with first degree murder, very unusual.

I stand corrected, I guess I was thinking a bit of myself if in the future my sons start telling me I am going out. Then if I realized they were with people I did not like. How the H E double hockey sticks do you stop them from going? Double train of thought (I = Mother). Yes, I feel sorry for the Father.
