Obviously gross use of force is outlawed, but in the heat of the moment, like a few weeks ago when a guy shot 2 boys who broke into his home, the law allows you to take action.
Burglars beware!
Its a shame that the law did have to change for us to be "allowed" to use force when someone intrudes onto our property.
At 12, no child should be left home on their own for any reason. This could have gone horribly wrong and have her be injured instead, as good as it is that she protected herself I would question why someone so young would be left unsupervised.
