This is an unfathomable crime. Either mental illness or the mother sexually abused him. Can’t think of anything else that would provoke this.

You’re probably right, but these days I wouldn’t be surprised if it was something trivial, like his mom taking his cell or gaming console from him.

The article mentions a step-father. So for one thing we might be looking at some blended family drama. Perhaps the teenager was jealous of the baby being blood kin to both parents. Perhaps the teenager was jealous of the step-father, as some boys are with a single mom who remarries. Or perhaps the biological father and his family were stirring up old divorce drama forcing the teenager to "pick sides".

And that's just potential blended family drama (and based on experiences from volunteering with youth and what goes through their minds when discussing their families and helping them see past what their mind "sees" when it tries to fill in gaps). No telling what else is going on.

Remarried mom, brand new half sibling, lack of attention, jealousy. Lots of things to pick over with this. Either way it’s just beyond evil.

Drugs causing a psychotic episode would be another good guess.

He’s only 13 and an honors student, so maybe less likely, but not unheard of. Maybe his first use of drugs and he got something laced with a psychotic agent.

Or there could have been abuse by a male that the mother allowed to occur.
