Message Subject 'I did it to kill people': 11-year old Louisville girl crashes truck into home

She shouldn't get a free pass but autistic children can be extremely violent. The kids that are like that need to be institutionalized.

It would be interesting to know more about the parents and what goes on in the home. It's not often that children are violent just for the hell of it, like they were just born rotten.

The kid had a car accident. She crashed through a wall, but the car did not completely enter the residents. No one was injured including the 11 year old girl. Most likely it was not an intentional act, as children have trouble driving straight.

Also there is nothing to imply the kid was violent outside the way she used her words. Those words were most likely applied inappropriately and mistakenly. Autism is a communication disorder after all. Without knowing the individual you can't take what they say at face value.

Did you see the damage? Did you see that they were fortunate the couch protected them? There very well could have been deaths and it was sheer luck that there wasn't. The child tried to take the keys before. This was negligence of the parents AND the child, however unfortunate it is that she is autistic, is a danger to society as a whole. It sucks, but that is the way that it is. If the child is THAT influenced by things and can't exercise self-control, then there is a problem. I don't want to die because someone liberal ass parent decides to take a break from watching their disabled kid long enough to allow this to happen. I don't want my kids to die because of it.

Society as a whole needs to stop pandering to this kind of crap and look at the good of the whole. Sure, they should extend help to those with disabilities, but it should not be at the expense of the safety of other kids.

No body can be expected to be a complete and utter jail warden and to keep a perfect eye on their kids all the time at age 11 years old, especially when the kid is good for most of it. That is exhausting.

Beside the 11 year old girl still should be treated as much as possible as a typical 11 year old. Seriously, how would you feel growing up in a prison environment and never given any freedom or responsibility to be like the average person. Nope for healthy development people need autonomy until proven otherwise just like with almost all other kids. This is a rare event, there is no evidence she is violent otherwise. Thank god no one got hurt and I doubt it will happen again.

If it was a one time occurrence, I might agree, but they stated that she tried to take the keys multiple times. That makes her a danger to other people, especially kids. At one point is one person's "freedom to be treated like an 11 year old" more important than the safety of others? How is that fair to the others around them?

I'm sorry, but there is a line and she crossed it. She tried to take the keys multiple times. If she isn't cognitive enough to understand the danger of that and takes the keys anyway and drives into a house, then action needs to be taken to protect OTHER CHILDREN. Your heart is in the right place, but your vision is clouded.
I'm not saying she needs to be locked away forever. BUT if they can't even get across to her how dangerous her actions are, then something needs to be done.

I guarantee that if YOUR child had been killed by this scenario, you'd be singing a different tune.
