The girl, identified by the city only as Shanice K., admitted she stabbed Queen Washington once in the chest at a Memorial Day gathering in Brooklyn, the city said in a statement after the proceeding.

The little girl's name was Queen Washington? Alright then.

This article pretty much leaves me speechless. I don't get how a 9-yr-old doesn't understand that stabbing someone could kill them. That is just incredible to me. Very sad. :(

My great grandmother's name was Queen :)

She is the result of bad parenting. Giant's and Cowboy's fans are also the result of bad parenting.

And White Sox fans.

Is poor grammar also the result of bad parenting?

That is so sad.

I think it is. (Snaps, not snap's, to valkyrie)

This is very sad, in all seriousness.
