Kids to blame in boy's death:

PAUINGASSI FIRST NATION, Man. --

A Manitoba community is in shock after learning three young children
are responsible for the drowning of a 6-year-old boy.
"The investigation revealed that the child was in the company of three
youths, aged 7, 8 and 9," says a recording on the Manitoba RCMP's
media line.
"It was determined that the victim had been bullied into removing his
clothes and was then pushed into the lake by one of the youths.
The child was unable to swim and consequently drowned."
The boys are too young to be charged with criminal offences, say
police, adding the matter will be referred to the Southeast Tribal Child
and Family Services.
Adam Keeper's body was found Wednesday morning near the shore of a
lake on the Pauingassi First Nation, a reserve in northeast Manitoba.
Pauingassi Chief Harold Crow says the community is trying to deal with
the awful circumstances of Adam's death.
"He was a very, very nice little boy," Crow said, speaking for Adam's
father, Harvey Owen, who was too emotional to speak.
"He usually got along with the other kids ... He was always playing and
enjoying himself."
Crow said medical personnel tried to revive him without success.

When do we accept children have reached the age of reason?
Is it 6 when they understand living and unliving things?
Or 16 when they have gotton use to getting away with things
and we wanna slap thir hands finally?

This is a disgrace!!!
