A disturbing courtroom moment has gone viral after a 12-year-old girl accused of killing her 8-year-old cousin during a fight over an iPhone was seen laughing during her hearing.
The courtroom, already heavy with grief, fell silent as the young defendant smirked and chuckled while the charges were read aloud. Family members of the victim were left devastated, some breaking down in tears at the child’s lack of remorse.
The shocking behavior has sparked outrage online. Viewers have called it “chilling” and “heartless,” with many questioning how someone so young could react that way in such a tragic situation. Others argue it highlights the need for better ways to handle juveniles in the justice system.
👉 What do you think — is this pure cruelty, or the reaction of a child too young to grasp the gravity of her actions?
