This is just terrible. And sick.

15-year-old Alyssa Bustamante of Jefferson City, Missouri killed her 9-year-old neighbor Elizabeth Olten because "she wanted to know what it felt like."

Bustamante disturbingly described how she strangled the young girl, then stabbed her in the chest and slashed her throat at hearing today.

Ugh. It was so hard just type those words out.

Before a judge, Bustamante admitted to the Oct. 21, 2009 killing, replying, "Yes," when the judge asked her if she understood that she was giving up her right to a trial. Then, she was asked to describe what happened.

"I strangled her and stabbed her in the chest," she told the judge.

"Did you cut her throat too?” the judge asked.

"Yes," Bustamante responded.

After two days of searching by volunteers, Bustamante finally led the police to her body.

She pleaded guilt to second-degree murder and will be turning 18 on Jan. 28.

Absolutely terrible. We just have no words for something like this.

Things aren't getting better for Baby Lisa's parents!

Missing baby Lisa Irwin's parents could have another one of their children taken away from them!

Show and tell has gotten OUT OF CONTROL!

A kindergartner in rural Sweet Springs, Missouri, outdid all his other classmates at Show and Tell Day by bringing his mom's crack pipe and crystal meth to school.

Superintendent Donna Wright said:

"He was very excited when he got to school. But I don't think he knew what he had. It didn't ever get into the classroom.

It was shocking. We're not experienced with dealing with this."

The boy's mother, Michelle Cheathan, 32 (above), was later arrested on drug charges and released on bail.

That poor child! So glad his mom got busted, but she should probably be in some sort of treatment center. We hope she gets her act together.
