A 12-year-old girl is accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin over an iPhone
A 12-year-old girl has been charged with murder, accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin as the younger girl slept.
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.

Generation alpha is so fucking lost.
Well done parents who are constantly on their smartphones instead being there for their children.
I remember when I was a kid, some 13 year old shot their parents because they took away Halo 3.
Most of us Gen Zers are normal. At least to the extent we don't kill our family members for video games or smartphones.
Troubled kids exist. Shit like this happens. That kids like 12 and probably had no idea anywhere near the actual gravity of what they where doing. The world is a really, really fucked up place.
Absolutely. People love to point to some societal issue, but the sad truth is that some people are psychopaths/have personality disorders and this is just what they do.
A few years back, about a half hour away from my hometown in NJ two teenage kids offered to help a young teenage girl fix her bike. They did, and then wanted payment, which she apparently refused. They killed her and threw her body in a dumpster and took her bike like nothing had happened. It was just a normal day for them.
All generations have kids who do this shit.
Well, most generations don't have kids anymore
Kids killing kids sadly happens all through time. But it’s quite rare, so it makes the news.
Back in 1993, there was the murder of 2 year old James Bulger in the UK. He was abducted, tortured and killed by two boys aged 10. After they tortured him to death, they put the body on train tracks where it was cut in half, so as to make it look like an accident.
One of the kids was in and out of jail a few times since then, as well as charged with child porn.

The UK really should’ve given both the death penalty if it had still been available. Humanity is better off without people like that.
Ok zoomer
I'm a millennial thank you very much.
Nooo come on, let millennials be the ones to leave this generational war stuff in the past.
We as a species love to judge people based on their age. And it goes both ways. Us millenials will be as reviled as boomers are by the younger folks soon. And I'm sure more and more millenials like OP will make dumbass comments about those same young folks in return. It's the circle of life.
I too wish we could all judge people based on their actions rather than their age. But it'll never happen
I can't deny my age, now can I?
Yeah but you can choose to not post.
Sigh I’m a millennial (82) with a gen alpha kid, and you’re an idiot.
I guess I am then when I see all those parents with their strollers in trams and underground tubes staring down their phones instead of giving their kids any attention.
Then you’d remember that kid who killed his brother over a cheeseburger.
Gen Z and Alpha are more like us than any others.
Yeah true every gen had some psychos. But good parenting could help in some cases to not turn into something as violent as this.
