If she's "mature" enough to kill her family and intimately date a man 11 years older than her, I think she's old enough to get sentenced as an adult. Especially since it was pre-meditated.
I can guarantee that the increasing number of child murderers is directly related to the fact that kids nowadays know fully well that their criminal records are erased as soon as they're adults. They use it as a "do murder free" card, and why not? As a child, they lose only a couple years of their life for doing the exact same crime for which someone who's only a few years older would no doubt get 25 to life.
And thus, the reason why I believe prison sentences for minors, in a case where it can be proven the minor knew the consequences and the act was premeditated, should be the same as adults'.

That link there don't work, but I did find the story from that website.
What I really noticed in the article was this:
That alone screams "We're all crazy here!" Perhaps some psychiatry is what is needed. But a triple homocide is an automatic 25-to-life no matter who the perpetraitor is, or death penalty if you're in the right U.S. state here.

Which, clearly, she's not. Because quite frankly... and I know this is gonna be hit with flak, she should be killed. Yes, I said it, and I may sound insensitive by saying that, but I don't care. Ten years is not enogh, neither is twenty five, or life. What's needed is one clear shot.
However, Canadian government has this crazy notion that something called "human rights" are at stake here. Appearantly a twelve year old is too yong to realise the consequences for her actions. Gee, my parents say the same thing about my three year old sister. So, appearantly a twelve year old that brutally stabs her parents and eight year old brother, and then has sex with a... twenty-three year old man can get off the hook the same way a toddler does when they throw a plastic plate full of food.

Murder is murder, no matter who commits the crime. In my opinion she deserves life without parole.
