This article is so inconclusive. No allegation, no motive - nothing. Don't get me wrong here - it's absolutely horrendous beyond human reasoning. Yet, what could have triggered this child to react in such terrying manner? Disturbing to say the least.

There's a high number of teenage girls that get arrested for attempted murder or actual murder in Japan - wonder whats behind the rage

lately i ve been thinking , if i ever have kids, they will be locked at night with no escape route and on proper leather leash at all other times until grown up... no point risking my life.

To all parents - sleep with one eye open. Your kids may be smiling when you take away their game controller, but maybe, just maybe, they're plotting how to use that futon whacker on you.
Do the hustle
Little girls don’t just stab their mother out of the blue. There is definitely more to this than has been reported.

If their was no problems between her and her mother then she needs to be put away in a children's home.
She can't be trusted she just may do this again or something worse.

Never heard anything like it. Especially not with an elementary school child.
Awful.

She is under the age of 14 so she can not be held criminally responsible for her actions, and I hope she gets the help she needs!
