Girl, 13, accused of stabbing peer for bag of chips

FRESNO, CA -- A California middle-school student in Armona has been charged in the stabbing of another student..

A 13-year-old girl from Armona, located in the South Valley, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

The Kings County District Attorney's Office says she also faces another charge for using a knife. Kings County Sheriff's deputies say the girl stabbed a 13-year-old boy after he stole a bag of chips from her lunch.

She claims she only meant to "poke" him and was joking around.

The girl is expected to be arraigned on the charges Monday morning in Kings County Juvenile Hall.

"Ain't nothing but a bag of chips!" ..... literally.

Lol - seriously though, the girl is a moron.

Thats true, but you hear of stupidity like this more often involving Americans...

There might be some factors contributing to that:

- it's a big country

- it's not like you read chinese newspapers or indian ones for example. Most people on this forum are anglo-saxon oriented. Everyone understands English, so English news will get broader attention

- sensationalism, I wouldn't be suprised if in a lot of countries this wouldn't get reported

yup it might happen anywhere.

Very true, but more than often it happens in America. That is why in the first few comments there was some initial shock as people thought it happened outside of 'merica.

Yes, it's a big country. The bigger country - the more stupidity inside. Take Russia for example ;)

I feel sorry for the parents, the girl does something extremely stupid and it is the parents that have to foot the bill for lawyers, fines, and so on even though none of this would mean anything to the child to deter her from this behavior. Parents can do everything they can to teach their child right from wrong but once their kid goes to school, the child's actions our outside of their hands but they cop whatever consequences are heading their way.

Honestly, not the least bit surprised about the "attack" or the reason behind it either. Children, even at that age, fighting (or "poking") eachother for the most pointless of things are hardly that uncommon.

The whole "only meant to poke" thing isn't all that far fetched either... Well it isn't after just reading this at least, with more details like say the extent of the stab wound that might change.

What baffles me the most is that this escalates to actual charges.

No, we just air out our dirty laundry more than other places.

I wonder if she felt she could get away with it - being female and all.

Note, I am not bashing woman with this statement, but the culture that has cropped up in the past number of decades that seems to focus on the whole "men are the devil and women are pure and virtuous and can do no wrong"

Can happen anywhere though

Can, and has, sort of. One of my cousins was imprisoned many years ago for stabbing someone in school just for a Terry's Chocolate Orange (can't remember how long ago it was, but he's still in prison, so he must have got up to other things too). Obviously, it's a part of my family I never have any contact with.

Sounds like we need better knife control.

Or better people. Decent people don't stab each other. And it was all so pointless, as it wouldn't have occurred if the boy hadn't stolen from her in the first place (though that's not to excuse her behaviour).

At that age my daughter wouldn't have stabbed the kid - she'd have just pounded him, then threatened to pop-rivet his "thing" to a locker door (her favorite threat to bullies.) Tough chick, and still is.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
