Of course the 13 year old girl who slapped an assaulted her school principal, knew she was assaulting that person (Sunday Territorian 10/4). For ANY court to determine she did not understand what she was doing and that she should be excused, is a crass denial of common sense and a significant miscarriage of justice.

Get real -this wallop on her Principal was not the act of a baby but the contrived action of a teenager knowing FULL WELL what she was doing.
