Tonight I watched an episode of Law & Order:SVU about a woman who was murdered; she had been stabbed and raped. When the detectives found her they also found a room in her house where she was growing a large amount of marijuana. After the autopsy, the detectives found out that the victim had cancer and she was growing it to help her sooth the side effects of her chemo treatments. In the end, the detectives find out that it was two boys in the sixth grade who thought the woman was a drug dealer and broke into her house to steal money from her, but one of the boys ended up stabbing her and raping her while the other stood and watched; he ended up throwing up and covered the woman with a blanket because he said he couldn't leave someone like that.
I think this episode is reflecting on the larger societal issue of kids growing up too fast. The boy who killed the woman was only in sixth grade and he felt no remorse for stabbing her or raping her, he said she was asking for it.
