Robert Moon, 48, Stabbed to Death by 13-Year Old Step Granddaughter

A 13-year-old Milwaukee girl has been accused of fatally stabbing her step-grandfather, Robert Moon, 48, because he poured the milk for her cereal down the drain. Authorities said the bloodshed was the result of a long feud between the two. Public defender Joy Sherard said county officials had intervened in the household the past. "This is about more than spilled milk," she said in a media interview.

According to the police, after Moon dumped the milk - saying another child in the house had to be fed first - Brown grabbed a paring knife and stabbed him in the neck. Isn't that very extreme for a 13 year old child, especially a girl?

"She stabbed me, she stabbed me in the neck," Moon said as he collapsed Saturday.
Cops said Brown told a neighbor: "I stabbed him! I cut his throat! He's dead ... I'm not afraid to go to jail for this." She was held on a reckless homicide charge.

Where are the parents of this child and why was she living with her grandparents? It seems to me that she was failed by many people in her family and it is a tragedy. There is more to this incident than spilled milk.
