17-Year Old Tries to Kill Girl After She Tell's Him She Is Pregnant With His Child
Expect more stories like this if abortion is ever banned:
True, and for those who are emotionally and financially incapable of raising a child, abortion should be an option. But even more to the point, education about sex, pregnancy and childbirth should be readily available. Educating our youth will go along way toward preventing these type of tragedies from occurring.
A 17-year-old is in custody, after allegedly stabbing a girl repeatedly when she told him that she was pregnant. Cortae Diaz Kelly, a student at Ypsilanti High School in Michigan, is accused of stabbing the girl in a nearby wooded area. The girl is now in intensive care, after getting surgery at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.
County Assistant Prosecutor Arianne Slay is saying that Kelly stabbed the girl 12 times in her head, back and hands. She played dead to get him to stop the attack. She also says that Kelly confessed to trying to kill her. He is being charged with assault with intent to murder and being held on a $1 million bond.
The girl was found on the trail by a passerby, who then called 911. Kelly allegedly told police that he not only intended to kill the girl, but that he thought she was dead.
"I am extremely concerned about the danger to the community," Magistrate Thomas Truesdell said before ordering that Kelly be held without bail.
