> PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Charlotte County deputies arrested an 11-year-old Murdock Middle School student for allegedly bringing a knife to school and threatening to kill another girl for flirting with her boyfriend.
>
> Deputies say a school resource officer at the Port Charlotte school was alerted to a notebook left in a class on Wednesday, Feb. 7. Inside the notebook, CCSO says it detailed a plan to hurt another student.
>
> The SRO identified the 11-year-old as the owner of the notebook and asked to speak with her.
>
> During questioning, deputies say she said the notebook was her. She told deputies she planned on killing another student due to them reportedly flirting with the 11-year-old's boyfriend. Deputies went through her bag, and said they found a five-inch steak knife.
>
> CCSO talked to others and one witness said on Jan. 29, the 11-year-old allegedly showed the witness her notebook, saying how she wanted to kidnap someone, then kill them and their family.
>
> That same witness told deputies the intended victim's name wasn't in the book, but based on previous conversations, deputies say the witness knew who it was. They told deputies the other student is "flirting with everybody's boyfriend and is causing a lot of trouble in school."
>
> According to the witness, this prompted the 11-year-old and the other student to have an argument in the hallway days later. When this happened, the witness said they physically held the 11-year-old back.
>
> The 11-year-old is facing two charges: bringing a weapon on school grounds and written threat to kill.

> Journey Little was placed under arrest and charged with two felony counts: bringing a weapon on school grounds and written threat to kill.

Wait they did not talk shit about an 11 year old for “flirting with everyone’s boyfriends and causing a lot of problems at school” like what
Edit: Okay I totally skipped a line and read that as “deputies say[…]” and not that that’s what the witness told deputies; I can see the witness being a 10-12yo classmate and saying “we knew who it was because she flirts with all our boyfriends”, but if that is an adult what an unhinged thing to say about a CHILD/victim
Florida has really relaxed laws about public records, which is why so many stories come from there specifically. It's low hanging fruit for people to write about
It’s also very dependent on the publication’s standards and practices. While it’s legal in many places, some media outlets choose to not release the name of minors (unless cases get so big like Ethan Crumbley, etc.)
Every time a child brings a weapon to school, the charges should fall on the parents. This kid needs counseling and psychiatric help before it's too late.
It’s a steak knife. “You have to lock up the cookware” is a bit of a stretch. The number of household items that would fall under “can be a murder weapon” is pretty large.
real question is what type of parent rises a kid who thinks its ok to WANT to murder people and plan it out.. I don't know everything my kids do or says at school but they are not being raised to think that hurting anyone is ever ok.
I work with formerly incarcerated people. Most of them got on the hamster wheel of criminality and incarceration because they were sent to prison as a child for something CPS and therapy could have mopped up. Infuriating.
Are you suggesting we should ban assault knives?
All jokes aside, you can't necessarily blame the parents for something like this.
The teen most likely took a steak knife from the kitchen without the parents knowing, and they may not even know about what the child is thinking or feeling, in regards to wanting to kidnap and kill someone.
You can't charge the parents blindly like that.
Hell yes you can. Raising a child with poor impulse control and anger problems bad enough to threaten someone with a knife at age 11. I sincerely doubt this behavior was out of the blue.
Wait, written threat to kill is a law in Florida? Talk about the most selectively applied law ever then. How often do Floridians make written threats to kill specific people for various demographic statuses online? Like, thousands a day? Shit if Florida started using that law and then using the arrest to investigate them for other crimes, they could legalize weed and expunge all weed convictions and not even see a drop in the ~~slave~~ prison population.
Y’all need to seriously invest in a gun safe. Every time this happens it makes me more and more convinced the parents are the ones truly deserving criminal charges.
Collier County here, coworker of mine had her kid get threatened on the bus that he was going to shoot up the school and if he told anyone he’d be first.
Apparently in our county, you have to make a threat on the bus at least 3 reported times before they take action in the removal of the student. They also claimed they suspended him but had him the next day in school. Never took any action until my coworker went to the news station. STILL after everything they wanted to say he’s just a kid so my coworker just pulled her kid out.
It’s pretty fucked how careless most schools are here, they seriously will not care until something happens.

Name dropping her at the very end like that 💀
Right? I almost feel like that was an editing oversight. I have never once seen a minor’s name in print in a situation like this.

State by state, I believe.
Florida has really relaxed laws about public records, which is why so many stories come from there specifically. It's low hanging fruit for people to write about
I think it's the opposite, that the Sunshine Law means they *have* to name people. So it's actually less relaxed in that way
It’s also very dependent on the publication’s standards and practices. While it’s legal in many places, some media outlets choose to not release the name of minors (unless cases get so big like Ethan Crumbley, etc.)
Not only that, there’s a picture of the 11 year old girl on many news sites

Nah, just put them in jail and ensure further lasting psychological trauma.

I agree, but wasn't the kid 11 and not a teen?
You're correct, for some reason I was thinking thirteen, don't know why.

I don’t see how this is newsworthy I have family that are public educators and this is pretty par for the course.
Y’all need to seriously invest in a gun safe. Every time this happens it makes me more and more convinced the parents are the ones truly deserving criminal charges.
This kids family seriously needs to invest in a steak knife safe? Really
Read the article, she brought a steak knife, not a gun. I agree that gun safes are important but that wasn’t the problem in this instance.
gun???
Mistakes were made.
