Bullshit if the kids charged.

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (AP) — A 12-year-old boy fatally slashed a man who was attacking his mother at the boarding house where they lived, authorities said.Salomon Noubissie, 64, died at a hospital after he was slashed across the neck Monday night in the home in the Landover area.

Cpl. Diane Richardson, a spokeswoman for Prince George's County police, said Wednesday that authorities hadn't decided whether the boy would be charged with anything. They were reviewing the case with the state's attorney's office.

The boy said he had been playing a video game Monday night when he heard his mother, Cheryl Stamp, scream. He found her on the kitchen floor, straddled by a fellow resident who was choking her.

"I kept saying, 'Stop! Stop! Stop!"' the boy told The Washington Post, which published his account without giving his name. "But he just ignored me. He didn't stop. He just kept hurting her."

The boy said he took a knife and swung at the man. Police say they found Noubissie with a knife wound to the upper body.

Stamp said she didn't fully realize at first what her son had done. "He didn't say anything," she said. "But I knew when I looked in his eyes. I said, 'Oh, Lord.' "

Rarely is a 12-year-old implicated in a homicide, and even less often does a child that age kill someone to protect his mother.

"In Maryland, there can be a legitimate defense of third parties in the event of a violent attack," State's Attorney Glenn F. Ivey told the newspaper. "That is a possibility in this case."

Stamp said she and Noubissie, a Cameroonian immigrant, had moved into the boarding house within days of each other three months ago and had become friends. Stamp said Noubissie had told her he was studying to be a psychiatrist.

But on Monday night, she said, he was acting differently. He started to yell at her and grab her hair.

"He threw me down and started choking me. I think that's when my son came in. ... He protected me," she said.

Noubissie was combative with officers when they arrived, even as he was bleeding heavily, she said.

The boy said he was not happy with what happened but felt he had no choice.

"I told God that I had stabbed him because he was killing my mother. I know he understands, and I think he will keep us safe now."

I thought is wasn't murder if you were acting in self defense

If someone was doing that to my mom I'd shoot him.

That would be terrible if that poor kid was charged.

true, depending on conditions.

I'm sure they would give the kid a slap on the wrist. he should of used a frying pan instead.

He did the right thing. It's complete BS if he is charged, however I doubt that will happen.

Charges? Fucking kid should get a medal.

It's awesome that he already has the ability to justify it in the eyes of God.

if the facts are true as stated in this story, he should not be charged. 3rd party self-defense can be used. if the original person could use deadly force to defend themselves, the 3rd party may do the same if there is no other option, and reasonably believes deadly force is being used upon the original victim.
