A shocking incident occurred in Iowa when a minor attempted to hire a hitman to kill another child.

The minor, whose identity has not been revealed, was arrested after he contacted a website that claimed to offer contract killings.

However, the website was actually a parody site that warned its visitors that it was not real and that anyone who tried to order a hit would be reported to the authorities.

The minor apparently ignored the warning and filled out a form with his personal details and the name of his intended victim. He was soon tracked down by the police and taken into custody.

The motive for the murder plot is still unclear, but the police are investigating the case as a serious threat.
