I think I see both sides, because when I was 15... i thought about killing a 9 year old. I'm ashamed to say it, but I couldn't help those kid of thoughts. But I know the fact she was mentally ill doesn't change the fact what she did was horrible, cruel, callous, caused suffering to the child as well as taking their life away and causing grief to the family. I'm seeing it from her point of view, but don't think for a second I'm saying what she did was excusable or anything, just to clarify. If it were my child I'd be devastated and angry.
