I have to say, I'm not buying the rehabilitation thing this time. Now, if this crime involved stealing a car with a group of friends and some joy riding that resulted in a fatality? Maybe. In this particular instance, though, this girl will be released from prison custody when she is 18 years old. 18! Hardly at the point in her life when she will be reflecting and looking back on her life and thinking about what she did wrong. Is 6 years really enough time to "learn your lesson," after committing such a heinous act as to kill your parents and younger sibling? Especially at about the time she's going to be developing a natural hatred for the world, anyway (as if she doesn't already have one.) Premeditated murders, making that 1st Degree Murder in most of the US. She should be counting her lucky stars she didn't partake in this crime south of the 49th parellel, or else she'd likely be spending most of her adult life behind bars, too.

Hell, I know a guy who wasn't directly involved in the murder of someone when he was 17, but was present for it before and after it happened. He got 10 years, and something like 5-6 years probation. That was when he was 17, just 5 years older then this girl was and is, and none of it was premeditated or planned. Infact, it was all acted on in self defense. You're still very much young impressionable at that age, and she's going to be getting out at exactly the wrong time in my opinion. Even though in my opinion, her outlook on life has already been pre-determined.

Now, I know because of the Youth Offenders Act, her name can't be published, but because she was originally declared Missing after the bodies were discovered, her name was published multiple times, all over the internet and on news broadcasts across Canada, (basically destroying the whole purpose of having the YOA to cover up the suspect's name in the first place.) Because of this, a few people have started watch dog groups and such, even to the extent of keeping databases and faux-replicas of the sites she used and the screen names she had. I won't post or discuss the details on here, because I don't feel that is my place. However, I did see some of these sites. I'm not a certified Psychologist or anything, but I've got to tell you, this girl is definitely a psycho/sociopath. She knew full well what she intended of doing, as did Steinke. You can't tell me that because she was 12, she didn't know what she was doing. Nobody grows up not knowing killing another human being is extremely wrong and unthinkable. She, on the other hand, seemed to have no ounce of remorse about the whole thing, and was reportedly laughing during and after the killings.

6 years for taking 3 lives just doesn't sit well with me. I don't care if she was 12. She still committed capital scale crimes that even her 7 year old brother could have told you were wrong, wrong, wrong.
