Pray for this family.
Please don't hurl accussation that someone must have been abusing the boy. You don't know them.

Looks like we have a little sociopath. Oh my, they usually don't commit murder this young. You have to wonder what he did before he murdered his father and attempted to murder his mother.

...accussation that someone must have been abusing the boy... the accussations are as predictable as night following the day...

Unless the kid was born bad, something happened to him.
The family is responsible for his conduct. What goes on
inside a family is not often see by others but something
went on or didn't go on that should have. That is child
abuse.

How horrible. The child must have had some indication of problems along the way.
What a sad waste of life and love.

You have to wonder what he did before he murdered his father and attempted to murder his mother. Reminds me of that Stephen King story in "Different Seasons" about the "perfect little boy" with the perfect family who is getting away with things they don't know about. It only appears that he "just snapped one day" because no one really knows what he has been doing all along.

What about human evil? If you have a conscience, you don't do something like this. That's what draws our attention. A person who knows what its going to be like for others as well as for him doesn't murder one parent and try to take the life of another. That's why we have difficulty getting a handle here since most of us can't imagine what its like NOT to have a conscience. Try to imagine doing anything you want and then look at this child again.

They say sociopaths wear a mask. No one sees them as they really are and its when they do the unimaginable that the mask falls off and people see for the first time as they really are all along. And we still act like we're surprised when we read the newspaper about a son who killed his father in cold blood.

My Assumptions: Sounds like her Daughter had drug problems, so she and her husband adopted their grandchild. The kid was probably a drug baby.

No way. Unless this kid has some serious mental disorder, one that there would clearly be clinical evidence of, there was something very, very wrong in that house. A normal ten year old simply does not pick up a shotgun kill someone and then go after his mother. No way.
I have children under 10 and they know with resolute certainty of the moral implications of anything approaching this conduct.
Something is rotten in Denmark.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with how he was raised. Some people are just wired differently. Evil is a large problem in literature, both spiritual and scientific and we have to accept some people do not not have conscience. If one doesn't already exist, its not like you can "grow" it. Certainly not after an innocent life's been taken.

HARD TO KNOW IF THE kid knew of the consequences of his actions.
To: cleo1939
The Bible disagrees with you. It says that humans are born bad and that only God is good. You may disagree with me on that, but your disagreement would be with scripture, not me.
To: cleo1939
You may be right. But some people are just born evil.
To: eccentric
What in the WORLD is going on here? I'd like to hear the rest of the story.
There's evidence that some serial killers (i.e., Ted Bundy) grow up consumed with rage over finding out that their parents are in fact their grandparents, and their powerlessness to do anything about it. They're so consumed with rage that they seem to lose the ability to feel any other emotion, and begin to view other people as things rather than humans to whom they can be emotionally connected. Is that what happened here?
I'm just speculating, of course. I hope more information becomes available.
To: goldstategop
...we have to accept some people do not not have conscience. Nope. No way I believe that. From my perspective, every human being is endowed by their Creator with "the work of the Law" written in their hearts (a conscience).

What about human evil? People really don't want to believe a child could be evil.....but I've seen my fair share. It's also possible he has some loose wiring...i.e., schizophrenia, etc. He's adopted....but it doesn't say who from... at what age he was adopted...or what kind of environment he was taken from. I guess we need more info before pointing fingers at anyone but the kid himself.
