Brother charged with murder after throwing 4 year old brother out of window

Shawn Smith, 20, has been charged with second degree murder  for throwing his little brother, Shimron Smith, out of a window.

This horrific act took place yesterday in Flatlands, Brooklyn.

4 year old Shimron Smith was found dead early Saturday morning at about 3:30 a.m. in the courtyard of the family’s building located along Nostrand Ave near Ave J.

Reports state that Smith was seen on surveillance video at the apartment building taking young Shimron to the roof of the apartment building and moments later tossing him.

 

According WPIX, neighbors say that the brother has had a history of mental illness.

My question is, if the family knew about his mental illness, why was he left alone with his 4 your brother?
