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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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?
They're often cheaper and better than "video baby monitors"
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.
They don't need to listen to your every word. They have so much information on you that they can pinpoint you pretty well. They would like to, but it's too risky. However making it easy for you to give them information willingly, yes please they are on board.
There is no evidence they are actually always processing everything, and people have been trying to prove it for a long time now. But it seems like they do what they say they are doing: listening for wake words.
"after coming from out of town to stay with their grandmother."
I'm assuming this means this was the grandmother's house they were staying at?
I work in hospice and and it's not uncommon for a family member to have multiple cameras set up in an elderly loved ones house for safety reasons. Maybe she wants to remain independent, but is a fall risk. We've had patients refuse in home caregivers, but allow family to put in cameras to watch for falls.
I aways get “but it only listens when you say the trigger word” when I talk about how much I hate spy speakers
That makes no fucking sense
Only if you choose to ignore the explanation.
The device listens locally for the trigger word. When it hears it, it wakes up and starts processing what you're saying, sending that to Google or whoever and getting a response back. It isn't constantly processing or what you're saying beyond "was that 'hey Google'?".
I will never trust that ever
Maybe it was a baby monitor?
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??
It's getting hard to find a baby monitor that doesn't have a camera.
No idea, glad it’s not just me I guess.
I have them in my young kids’ rooms but it’s mostly just to make sure they’re in bed and not screwing around. Once they get a bit older, they’ll be removed. I don’t know how you’d justify a camera in a 12 year old’s room without very explicit needs and communication.
The kids were at grandma's house, visiting. So not their own bedroom.
