What has become of kids these days??
the newspaper article :

( LINK TO THE NEWSPAPER CAN BE FOUND UNDER THE LINK)

summary of the article

The murder case happened in Argentina. A toddler at the age of two being killed by two boys, aged 7 and 9. She was found a few hundred metres away from her home dead. The toddler had been found hanging from a wall with wire around her neck. The victim was given brutal beating before she was apparently strangled. The two boys confessed to the crime in a few days later knowing that they were in a wrong. The neighbour of the young killers said that the kids had been beaten and abused by their parents since young. The two killers have been placed in the custody of a juvenile court judge who has ordered psychological examinations and an investigation into their living conditions.

My say of the article

This was a shocking article. It left me speechless. Thinking of how two kids as young as 7 and 9 years old killed a 2 year old is unbelievable. How they managed to kidnap the child, how they taught of ways that led to the murder? They are just young kids but yet they act just like adults. The young killers seemed as professional like killers that are seen on the media shows. It portrayed how the action packed movies might be the link to the way the kids killed the young girl. It was said that the two young killers were beaten and abused by their parents since young. Could this have led to their murder of the girl or could it through the media that they were showed to? Media have many influences in kids life. It have it positive and negative impact. A simple action packed movie can cause chaos as the kids are influenced by the media. The teachings that are taught within the movies have caused kids to learn and follow. Crime rates have risen through the these time.

Therefore, it is hard to say if parents or the media should be blame for what have happened.
