On November 21, Wisconsin 44-year-old Quiana Mann was killed when her 10-year-old son shot her, apparently in a dispute over a virtual reality headset. While the case is tragic, a strange feature of Wisconsin law is making a terrible situation even worse.
In the state, children as young as 10 charged with certain serious crimes must be charged as adults. This means that Mann's son—at only 10 years old—was charged as an adult in his mother's killing.
