Where are we going to end?

South in Brazil, at Rio Grande do Sul State, a 13 years old boy has putten a knife in another boy's chest (how to say that in English? "put a knife in somebody's body"). The worst thing is that his father helped him.

Where are we going to end?

"put a knife in" is the right way to say it. The word for it is stabbed, though, in case you were actually looking for the specific action word.

And as for where it ends...it might never end. Human history is full of horrors, and the present is just as full.

Yes! Stab is the action I was lookinf for. I couldn't get any translator to do the translation from pt to en. The reverse works fine on all of them.

Thanks!

And, with regards to human history, I agree with you, but it seems that we're becoming what we were centuries ago: savages.
