himself and alone in the house at 12 years old? i don t see how there wasn t someone else involved, helping him, some adult involved in this situation. if there was an adult involved, ken, what would they charge the adult with and what could be the possible motives? i know we are dealing in speculation here. totally speculating, the police must be looking at child abuse. you might have aggravated child abuse, child abduction. there may be a number of different charges that the prosecutors and police can be looking at in this this case if the evidence warrants that. clearly when you are dealing with a crime, but especially with a child you want to look carefully to see what s happened to this child, was a law broken, was this child violated and, if so, there should be a swift charge and the justice system should take over. his own lawyer said they expected him to be charged. i don t know what the motive would have been.
