A 15-year-old girl filmed herself trying to murder her parents in the family living room, a court has heard

mouse goes here

That is just sad that she would try that. creepy kids these day.

The mother then says "You're strangling me" and calls for help from her husband, who is sitting nearby watching a game of rugby on the television.

The father quickly enters the frame, and following a sudden movement he screams: "You tried to stab me! You tried to stab me!"

I think we found a motive...the girl was clearly driven insane by her parents constant narration of their daily lives.

"I am sitting down watching rugby, with my beer in my hand..."

"I am at my computer, unaware of my impending strangulation..."

can anyone say mentally insane?

....mentally insane, there I can say it.
well I actually typed it, you'll have to take my word for that I can say it.
JK! This girl is seriously messed up.

Too bad it didn't list the reason why the girl wanted to kill her parents

I totally agree with black dahlia 83. I'm kinda surprised. Or maybe they were abusing her and she's fighting back. Or she's mentally insane. Or it's the dad and she got the genes.

Thats to trippy, how could a kid wanna try and do such a thing.

Well, I know about kids fighting back. Maybe she's fighting back against her abusive parents, or one of her parents is abusive or she's just mentally ill.

bah, anyone else hoping for a youtube video?

too good..

Yes.

yeah! I was really hoping for a video.. damn that girl is crazzzyyyy..

-Exactly what i was thinking!
Once the trial is over i am sure it will become available.

England may experience far few murders and murder attempts than the United States, but hers are every bit as weird.

Only 8 miles away from me & all over the local news.

She has been cleared of one charge (attempted murder I believe) already!!!

despite the filmed evidence?

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men"
The Shadow radio show.

Lol, sooooo waiting for Youtube. . .
It is sort of weird that they didn't say anything about the reason she may want to do this. Of course, some kids are just crazy. . .my husbands stepsister is twelve, and she's always threatening to kill her stepfather in his sleep with a pair of scissors. . . she's just a bit mad in the head. . . I wouldn't put it past her to try something similar. .. . Children these days. . .tsk tsk. . .I hope my son doesn't grow up so mentally depraved.

thats fudged up...

That makes me sick.......

Aww! I just NOW read this thread and went to go see the video of the girl and it says that the article is now expired! Oh! The humanity!

Yea it expired ..guess i have to wait till youtube...how sick are we really ...lol

I couldn't find the video but here's a news story from BBC News.

Girl detained over parent attack

A 17-year-old girl who filmed herself trying to strangle and stab her parents at their Cambridgeshire home has been made the subject of a hospital order.

The girl, from St Neots, was convicted in February of attempting to suffocate her mother with intent and unlawfully attempting to wound her father.

Judge Gareth Hawkesworth said that she had been suffering from an illness she was unable to control.

Until her condition improves, the girl will be treated in a psychiatric unit.

Heard voices

The girl was cleared during the trial of charges of attempted murder. She told jurors a voice in her head had told her to kill her parents in the attacks, in the living room of the family home.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court the voice "showed me what it wanted me to do".

She said: "It was just an image in my head, my mother with a noose around her neck, my dad with a knife in his chest."

The incident happened after an argument with her father in February 2007 when the girl was aged 15.


Read the full article... it's quite bizarre...

the link doesn't work for me

The video link that tigger originally posted has expired.

Try the news story link in my comment/post above yours.

Well I would be interested in the whole story especially hers. I do not believe everything reported to me at face value by the media especially since they are selling a product and any subsequent stories related to it. When videos are involved alot of times they just report it from an angle and when you see the actual video it is not what you were originally led to believe. Sort of like previews for a movie that when you go and see it was nothing like the previews.

O.e yeah, she is crazy...
I mean who makes proof of their crimes?

most likely they took away her cellphone or restricted her access to myspace/facebook..kids..meh.

Actually, a valid response. Or took their World of Warcraft away, I have seen some clips of that and WOW, what ever happened to kids shooting hoops or playing backyard football?

See now that's just bad parenting, if i even thought of doing something like that my mom would beat me to it; kill me and tape it with a steady hand.

Lmfao, I know exactly what you mean. *looks over at mom*

Honestly though, I really wonder what her motives were. I'll make sure I don't have kids....

WOW!!! That little girl has serious family issues. Mentally Insane I think that she is not mentally insane. I mean she had everything planned out and had it set up so that her father would fall for it. I think that even for minor she should be tried as an adult "highly intelligent" she i KNEW what she was doing.It kind of makes you wonder what our youth now days will do if we tell them no.

They tie you down and beat you into a pulp and tell you that they are the boss? *shrugs* It's how yah raise em. I think...

much worse than that ..

She obviously was rebelling about not being allowed to watch CSI, and thought she would make a crime scene of her own. Course if she had watched CSI she may have gotten away with it.

lol-don't think so
she probably just wanted attention
and you've gotta be stupid if ur a 16-yr old girl and think you can take on ur dad...unless hes an old fart

Sad story, I remember a fairly recent local situation that turned out worse. A girl wanting to convert religions decided to kill her parents. She killed her mother and stabbed her father in the chest. All this so she could run away with some boy. Astounding. I could not raise a finger against my mother. I would dead set be having second thoughts if I was the boy she wanted to run away with too. Scary.

Link to story

It makes me laugh when people say "Kids these days" or "I'll never have kids now".
Hey people, that's only one person, it's far from being a majority.

It's clear that she got some mental issues, but we don't know the whole story.
We don't know her side of the story, maybe his dad is a crazy alcoholic who molest her every night, and her mom beats her.
It would drive pretty much anyone crazy.

to bad she should have planed it out better

of course i am................oh and shes crazy

You are right you know. I was a musician travelling the east coast for a dozen years thinking life could not get better. I had 2 kids. Lo and behold it got better than I ever imagined.

It would be nice if youtube had an alert for this sort of thing...

Remind me later when 15 year old's failed murder attempt is found.

(maybe you can nowadays??? who knows?) lol

I don't know for sure if you meant that to be funny or not. But it made me laugh.
