Fully agree. But, hey, this is STL who's to say that was the parents' gun
But whoever mentioned them being home alone has a point. 11 is 4th-5th grade, which you can argue can be left alone for short periods. It is really unfortunate he did what he did, and like you say I hope he can move past it.
This is one of those really weird situations where 9 times out of 10 the kids would have seen the house was occupied and ran...and 1 out of 100 something awful might of happened, and the rest the kids get over being traumatized by a routine break-in.
So I'm not going to pass judgement on anyone, it's just very unfortunate and strange. The tragedy here is that an 11-yr old was put in this situation, but I'm not sure who is to blame.
