I had no time to work the business today. I just got off work even though I was supposed to get off 5 hours ago. I had to investigate a 10 year old boy for an attempted murder charge. This boy supposedly tried to kill his grandfather and had threatened the entire family previously.

In so many years of doing this job I can honestly say that I have never seen a child being so evil like the one I have met tonight. This boy not only attempted to harm his grandfather, he also held a neadel to his 8 months old siblings neck, tried to shoot both siblings - 8 months and 4 years old - with arrows, held a knife to his mother's chest and telling her that he wants to kill her. He also tried to set their appartement on fire several times and stuck their cat into the freezer.

I have no idea what is going on with some kids today. Anyways, working a shift as long as I have today was not planned. I was actually going to call leads again just like I have last night.

But the case itself and the fact that I had to translate german-english and english-german to post commanders and other high ranking officers from the US Army 6 hours straight has drained me. After so long of translating you really start to become headaches. I doubt I will be able to attend the 5 pm call.

Good Night everybody :)
