Teen girls face murder charge

Teen girls face murder charge :

"TWO 16-year-old West Australian girls appeared in court today after allegedly strangling their teenage friend then burying her body in a shallow grave beneath her house."

There was stunned silence in my home when this came on the news tonight. Then we looked at each other. The disbelief was palpable. These are 3 teenage , Australian girls who went to school together...like our kids have gone to school together. How do we get something like that happening in our community? Australian kids are lively, sporty, too loud at times...some are speeding and getting drunk or trying drugs, but mostly they are just kids. How do you get that happening? Sick is the word that comes to mind. These girls must be very sick...and so, if these girls are sick, how many other girls are? Who are our kids going to school with and what is making this happen? What is influencing this? The parents and family of the one who has died must be feeling shattered. I don't even know the girl and I feel awful. So bad for the parents and friends. The other two girls, who are they and what were they thinking? How do you get to be like that at 16 in Australia? The police are still doing their investigations and I suppose it will shed some light, but we need kids just to be kids. What will happen to the girls? If they actually have done this, what shall become of them? I am not surprised the Detective Sergeant hadn't come across anything like this in 20 years. We need to be very careful because it is so important we understand how this has occurred.
