‘Super predator’ or child?

I was watching the news this morning when I saw a story about Rashaun Weaver, the 14-year-old child charged as an adult for the stabbing death of New York student Tessa Majors. According to the account, Rashaun and two friends tried to rob the young woman and when she refused to give up her mobile phone, the boy stabbed her in the chest.
