Young Girl Beats Boy with Backpack Full of Rocks

Yesterday at the Southwest Community Center in West Seattle, a 12-year-old girl filled up her backpack with rocks, and then proceeded to haul off and beat a 12-year-old boy over the head. Understandably, times have changed. But we thought young crushes still resulted in the scenario: girl likes boy, girl would playfully kick or punch a boy to let him know she likes him--but not stone or beat him to death. We hope the police reiterated that after they released the young girl to her parents. As for the boy, he suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was later taken to Harborview Medical Center.
