A Texas judge has sentenced a 12-year-old to seven years in a juvenile detention center after he removed his ankle monitor and shot a one-year-old baby, who survived .

The 12-year-old rapper, named Lil Rodneyy, was also an alleged Crip and admitted to cutting off his ankle monitor to attend a friend’s funeral.

However, he claimed he couldn’t recall the friend’s name because he only knew the nickname.

Despite the boy breaking down during his Zoom detention hearing, Judge Kim seemed to have seen enough of the child and was unmoved.

“Every time you come in here you cry. You know that, right?” the judge said.

“Every single time, you beg me for one more chance. You swear to God, ‘On my mama’s name,’ ‘I’m not gonna cut off the monitor, I’m not gonna run off.'”

Lil Rodneyy will remain in a juvenile detention center until he’s 19.

Jesus. I almost feel bad for him. This child was failed by everyone in his life. I don't know what the solution is besides putting him in Juvy, but damn. He clearly has no positive role models. He's been raised as part of a gang. He's doing what he thinks is socially normal & acceptable. We have got to do better by our children or they will keep turning out like this.
 
Calm down people. Just remember that it's racist to claim that there is something wrong with the culture that breeds this insanity. This is clearly the fault of the white patriarchy, and not the decisions of the people who were raising this child. The people who raised this child are not responsible for their own actions, for they are precious POC and therefore anyone who tries to hold them accountable is a bigot. Or possibly Hitler.

Because, as we all know, black people are helpless victims.

Or he was born a psychopath. That happens too. All those tearful pleas just a mask he's learned to put on.

It's possible. But we'll never know now, because like so many other kids, he never had a chance.

From article:
"Rodneyy's mother was interviewed after the hearing. She is a single mom who gave birth to Rodneyy when she was 16.

The boy's father abandoned his family, and Rodneyy's mom chooses not to seek child support. She said she was sent away to prison twice when the boy was a toddler."

(It's unclear how many Ys are at the end of this kid's name...)
 
So the little shit has a son story. Boo fucking hoo. I know several folks that had kids young, or no father, but they still had morals and are citizens of society.
Enough with the fucking excuses Ramona,people fucking suck, and this kid is a prime example.

I still agree that culture needs to change,but that's not on me. If they don't want real change, I can't help them.
 
His mother had served multiple prison sentences while he was a small boy and he was was raised by his grandfather. Prison life in his upbringing was clearly normalized.

I find it odd that news sources on this story all seem to be regurgitating the same information and phrasing from source to source. I was unable to find his real name in a quick search, only rap aliases. Almost dehumanizes the situation altogether. That's not taking anything away from the fact that he shot a baby.

I'm glad to hear that the baby survived though.
 
I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Having a single parent, having been abandoned by his father and having his mother in prison means nothing.

He had choices and he made them.


Just so you know, my son's dad was in and out of prison for ever.
I was a single mom, all 3 of my kids (natural born and adopted) are all college grads, self-supporting and living their best life.
None of them have shot a baby.

He had choices. He made them.
 
12 years old is old enough to know better than to shoot a baby. Doing that, regardless of age, is a grotesque moral transgression. This 12-year-old, whom I must say looks eight, needs no sympathy.

By the way, in the first video here, he is seen flipping and flailing a gun around at the beginning. Those are disturbing values for a 12-year-old to have.

You were clearly a decent parent, and that's all your story really proves. You did a good job with what you were handed. His mom clearly didn't. Can you really truly honestly say that this child had all the EXACT SAME opportunities in life as your kids did? Down to the neighborhood, school system, extended family, income, and crime rate? If you threw all your kids into Rodney's life, you really think all 3 of them would have gone to college? Really?



I think the main debate here is, at what point does a parent's negligence/abuse become their child's responsibility? Sure, there is a line, and ultimately we do have to hold adults accountable for their choices. If he was 16, 17, 18, I might agree with you. But he was 11. As a teacher who works with kids this age, I just don't agree that 11 years old is where we draw that line! Every kid I've worked with who has these kind of behavior problems, it goes back to the parents. I still hold the kids accountable for their choices, but it breaks my heart sometimes what they could have been if they came from a loving, stable home.

I'm not saying the judge was wrong or that lil Rodney is an innocent little angel. I just don't believe that he has crossed that line into taking 100% of the blame. He is a child.

I'm bringing this up because I believe if we know where it starts, then we know how it can be fixed. I'd rather be part of the solution than step back and think "well people should just stop doing that" or "not my problem because I'm not black."

Also, for what it's worth, I couldn't find the story on one single reputable news source or even actual news site, so who knows if it's even accurate.
 
@Dastardly .. I definitely get what you are saying but I think society has leaned on blaming others a little too much.. My life could be a freak'n train wreck - and I could blame at least 20 people who have drastically effected my life - instead of seeing the negatives I try to implement the good things they brought to the table. In the end I view it as they did the best they could with what they had at the moment. I just refuse to settle or be held back by something that I can never undo.. it's about creating what I deserve and what my kids and grandkids deserve..

My kids grew up in gang riddled southern calif. They went to school where half of each class the teacher talked in spanish.

This kid shot a baby. That goes far beyond shitty parenting or absentee father's.

I'm not clutching my pearls over some little bastard that shoots babies.

I'm not stopping you from doing it either.
