A 17yr old in Tacoma WA is being tried as an adult
After beating his father or step father to death with a cane after abusing his mother. I married an abuser I know what anger they can produce, unless you've been around one personally for a long time you have no idea the damage an abuser can do physically and emotionally. I think this 17yr ought to be tried as a juvenile not an adult. Apparently, he did not create aggression for no reason, he has not shown aggression to others. How does one give feed back to the legal system? He may have killed the father but I can see how easily that could be done with an abuser. I think this child is being railroaded.
