DALLAS -- A 12-year-old girl upset over being grounded is accused of shooting her mother to death early Sunday in her bed.

The girl's 10-year-old brother called police about 1 a.m. after finding his mother, 48-year-old Elvira Marion Walton, shot.

The 12-year-old who was being detained at the Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center.

"Apparently the motive is because the daughter was upset that the mother disciplined her," Dallas police Sgt. Gary Kirkpatrick, homicide unit supervisor, said in Monday editions of The Dallas Morning News.

Walton had six children and lived in a converted garage used as the family home. An older daughter, 22-year-old Thanica Derrick, said her mother had been having trouble with the 12-year-old.


"She is your average 12-year-old, hormones and everything,"

Isn't that horrible. On the local news last night, neighbors said she was "boy crazy" and would sneak out at night to hang out and party with them all night and then not go to school. Apparently, she was sexually active :eek: and was into drugs. They said her mother would walk straight down the street and make her come home, but they fought all the time.
 
So what happened to this 12-yr-old killer? Her name wasn't released and I suppose she was tried as a child and just got 6 years in juvenile detention and then got out with a clean slate??
