So far, the cops haven't released the name of the 12 year old girl. The Young Offenders Act protects her identity. The cops or media can't even identify the dead family members because that could identify the girl.

Assuming it's the daughter.

The cops can release her name before she's been arrested ... when she is a suspect or a person of interest. As soon as she's taken into custody, the YOA prevents the release of her name.

Of course, we all connect the dots and assume this is the family's daughter. Her 23-year old boyfriend is co-accused. It doesn't take a huge leap to figure out what probably happened here. Of course it's just speculation.

This case illustrates the vast difference between how cops in Canada and the U.S. deal with these kind of cases. If this would have happened in the States, her name would already be out in public. We'd know about the link between her and the guy. And the cops would be talking about the probable motive behind this murder.

Instead, we're left to 'presume' that her parents probably flipped out when they learned their pre-teen daughter was dating a 23 year old man. (I have a 14 year old daughter, and I'd probably strangle the guy). Perhaps there was a threat of legal action against the boyfriend. The daughter and boyfriend then plotted and acted to kill her parents so they could continue their misunderstood relationship. Of course it's just a theory.

In the end, a 12 year old girl in Canada that whacks her parents will be out on the street when she is still just a young woman. The boyfriend can look forward to his 50-th birthday in prison by the time this works it's way through court.
