Because he was a juvenile at the time of the killings, he is ineligible for the death penalty under state law, but is staring down the barrel of life without parole.

The teen's father, Alan Thompson, has already pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for the negligent storage of the firearms used in the bloodbath.

His motive remains unknown.

And finally, talk about a parenting masterclass in doing the right thing.

In Lovejoy, Georgia, Laquan Stevens, 16, found out that blood isn't thicker than the law in the ultimate reality check.

Thea Ludemia Russell, 18, was hauled off to jail after delivering a bone-chilling confession to cops.

She spent weeks smothering children until they turned quote-unquote white-purple and sprayed blood-tinged foam from their mouths, all so she could play hero when paramedics arrived.

Here's Savage Police Chief Brady Jewell at the news conference.

The three-month investigation into the Rocking Horse Ranch child care in Savage, Minnesota, revealed that Russell's twisted bid for sympathy ended in the senseless murder of 11-month-old Harvey Mucklebust, who was slaughtered just five days before he was set to celebrate his first birthday.

The nightmare began on September 19, 2025, when Russell allegedly targeted a four-month-old girl twice in a single shift.

During a routine burping session, the teen reportedly smothered the infant until the baby vomited a, quote, blood-like substance, end quote, and stopped breathing.
