5-year-old Allegedly Stabs Sister Over Nintendo DS

I feel the same way as a lot of the readers of this irresponsibly titled article: cheated! The author of this article would be entirely mistaken to think this scam was anywhere near clever. Unfortunate, sad story. Stupid author.

Did those complaining about the title read the "Allegedly" part? It doesn't say "5-year-old Stabs Sister Over Nintendo DS"..

Allegedly: An allegation (also called adduction) is a statement of a fact by a party in a pleading, which the party claims it will prove. Allegations remain assertions without proof, until they are proved.

The mother alleged the kid did it, when it could very well have been herself that did it. Media is all about sensationalism, however, which is partially the case here. Perhaps a better title would have been "Mother Claims 5 year old Stabs Sister Over DS".. but the title for this article itself is not false either and I wouldn't be surprised if you found it worded the same way on other news web sites.

I can relate to that. Only it hasn't worn off over the last 26 years. I've simply stopped talking to him many months ago, and life's so much easier.
