A 12-year-old girl is accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin over an iPhone

A 12-year-old girl in Tennessee has been charged with murder, accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin as the younger girl slept. A relative said they had been arguing over an iPhone.

A security camera recorded the killing, inside the bedroom they shared on July 15 in Humboldt, Tennessee, the county prosecutor said.

The recording shows the older child using bedding to suffocate her cousin as the younger girl slept in the top bunk, Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee’s statement said. After the child died, “the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body,” Agee said.

A relative told WREG-TV in Memphis that the girls had been arguing over an iPhone after coming from out of town to stay with their grandmother.

Why was a security camera in the bedroom? Or was it somewhere else but you could see in the bedroom? Am I the only one who finds this odd, or is this a common thing to have for 12 and/or 8 year olds?

I was also surprised by that, but I’m still surprised people have them in their living rooms. I guess it’s like upgrading from a baby monitor??

No idea, glad it’s not just me I guess.

Some people are surveillance’d out. I personally find it weird when people have fuckin Alexa or Google assistant in their house. Like u really want Bezos listening to your every word so u don’t have to walk 3 feet to the light switch? Different strokes I guess, but I don’t want a doorbell cam n I for sure don’t want cam(s) inside my fucking house especially ones connected to multinational conglomerates that are going to use it to spy on me n sell me ads.

Maybe it was a baby monitor?

We really shouldn’t let elementary students watch CSI. They’re learning the wrong lessons.

Stop using the “why won’t someone think of the children!” Fear mongering. This kid is a psychopath, it wasn’t caused by then watching CSI.

aeronmelon ,

I didn’t, but you did. We know the kid has issues, thank you for pointing that out.

But even though my comment is a sarcastic, throw-away response to cope with the heinous news, I do have a point. How did a 12-year-old know to “fix” the crime scene?

Generation alpha is so fucking lost.

Well done parents who are constantly on their smartphones instead being there for their children.

Who was the genius at apple who came up with a remote-smothering feature?

Obviously they’re holding it wrong!

Is it me or is the newsworthy thing here not the phone but the actual fucking murder?

Children have been arguing about toys for millennia. I got into a few fist fights myself over he-man dolls.
