Boy, 13, charged with attempted murder of young girl
Police say the youth charged with attempted murder in the brutal stabbing of a 13-year-old girl in Warman, Sask. is a 13-year-old boy.
The boy was tracked down by officers Friday night after they responded to a home in the city, located about 20 kilometres north of Saskatoon, where a girl was suffering from severe stab wounds.
Police managed to stabilize her at the scene and she was rushed to hospital by ambulance.
The girl was in stable condition on Sunday and is expected to make a full recovery.
Police said the two youths knew each other, but did not give details about their relationship.
"We just heard some noise, late at night some screaming," a next-door neighbour told CBC News. "We just thought some kids were goofing around in the back. My wife went out to the deck just to look and the young girl was just screaming for help and yelled to her mom that she'd been stabbed."
The neighbour said the girl was in the back of her house — where the girl's mother and great-grandmother went to help her.
"The incident happened behind the house, it wasn't actually in the house," the neighbour continued. "We just know the girl was there, and obviously somebody else."
The boy left the scene and was found a short time later by police.
The RCMP said it's believed the weapon used was a knife, which is consistent with the multiple wounds the girl suffered.
The youth is expected to make his first court appearance in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Monday.
Neither the suspect nor the victim can be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
A young girl was almost killed by a 13 year old boy

The boy was tracked down by the police that night after

    A series of allegations that sohom killer Ian Huntley was having sex with under aged girls, should have rung significant warning bells for social workers, police and teachers years ago. There had been 7 allegations and possibly a further 4 cases of vulnerable young woman involved in Ian Huntley that were failed by those who should have been helping to protect them. In retrospect Ian Huntley’s history of serial sexual exploitation should have been flagged up but the connections were not made. Police intelligence systems failed to see some of the connections that could have been made to identify a pattern in Ian Huntley’s behaviour were missed. Ian Huntley applied for caretakers job as Ian Nixon although his application form stated that he was once known as Ian Huntley. It is believed that the police did not check under the name of Ian Huntley on the police computer. If they had then they would have discovered a burglary charge left on file.…

    A young boy who goes by the name of Lionel Tate was just twelve when he gruesomely murdered a six-year-old girl. It’s been said that the cause of his actions was because he was trying to imitate a wrestling show. The question lies, does he deserve to face his entire life in prison? Or does he, because he is just a child, have the pleasure of settling down for a smaller punishment? This is a very controversial topic that in which many people still can confidently say that the kid doesn’t deserve life in prison. A boy who is just the age to distinguish right from wrong kills another kid out of the sheer fact to pretend he was a wrestler. Youths are no longer their innocent personas once they take the lives of another person. In fact, juveniles…

    Youth Criminal Justice Act

    "The Youth Criminal Justice Act is a piece of Canadian legislation...that determines the way in which youths are prosecuted under Canada's criminal justice system." The act was implemented April 1, 2003, after "7 years, 3 drafts, and more than 160 amendments." The clearly stated purpose of the Youth Criminal Justice Act is "protection of the public through crime prevention, rehabilitation, and meaningful consequences (s.3(1)(a)(I-iii))." For a better understanding on whether the courts were following the Youth Criminal Justice Act's principles in practice, I went to Edmonton Law Courts and sat in on youth court. After reviewing the act in theory and practice, I argue that the Youth Criminal Justice Act is doing a fair job in fulfilling its' purpose, but does need some improvements.…
