Teen Kills 5 Year Old Sister, Attempting Wrestling Moves

[It's...Baylariat!]

Based on experiences and opinions of others, there's more to this than simply wrestling too hard. I think the 13-year-old's going to be tried as an adult and do some serious time.

Sad. Both the story and those that want to pretend that this has nothing to do with watching something where the true effects of violence are undersold.

Given that I have a father who is both severely physically and mentally handicapped due to the effects of violence, I NEVER undersell its effects and I take extreme offence to you suggesting otherwise. What I sated was that the 13 year old repeatedly assaulted his younger sister, knowing that he was hurting her all along and it is this that cannot be tied to wrestling.

CBS:
Those moves allegedly included repeatedly slamming the girl on a bed, punching her in the stomach, jumping on her and striking her with his elbow. A coroner’s investigation found the girl died of multiple injuries, including broken ribs, lacerations of the liver and internal bleeding.

The wee girl would have been obviously crying her heart out as he repeatedly assaulted her or are you saying he thought she was 'selling'? An assault is an assault, if he'd claimed he'd karate chopped and kicked her to death - would 'TMNT' and 'Power Rangers' be at fault?

This was a 13 year old boy deemed responsible enough to look after his 5 year old sister. If he has that level of maturity - he is to blame; if he hasn't - his mother has a high level of responsibility; a sport that has just had Triple H collapsing as a follow on to wrestling the previous night, has been very open about why Ziggler's concussion and repeatedly warns it's audience not to copy them (something I've never seen kids martial arts programs nor the violence that appears all through the day on TCM doing) is way down the blame tree.

That is just sad.

Read some more into this, the police say that the boy lied about the "wrestling moves" and basically beat his sister to death intentionally. He has a history of violence and this was not the first time he had attacked his sister. The police are now investigating the parents as well for knowing this and still leaving the two of them a lone together.

The police say that this was not an accidental death and thus he is being charged with Second Degree Murder, and not Man Slaughter or some lesser murder charge.

Yes, the only reports I read mentioned elbows, knees and punches. Nothing about suplexes or slams. To me that sounds like beating the shit out of somebody, not attempting wrestling maneuvers.

I am in no way stating you undersell violence but I don't see how you can argue prowrestling doesn't. Regardless, sounds like this kid was first and foremost deranged. Then again stating what other programs do and don't do is also irrelevant. I was never suggesting that prowrestling was predominantly to blame anyway.
