CORBIN, Ky. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy killed in a shootout Saturday with police in Maryland, prompted the search of his home over 500 miles away in Kentucky, where authorities found the bodies of his parents and younger sister.
Friends and relatives of Jason Hendrix were struggling to understand how the boy, a faithful churchgoer who was baptized just two months ago, could end up as the suspect in the slayings.
Hendrix, a Kentucky high school ROTC student and active church member, was angry at his parents for taking away his computer privileges when he's suspected of killing his family execution-style before fleeing to Maryland, where he died in a shootout with police, the town's police chief said Sunday.

Lord help us..
Billions of kids are growing up with technology. What I think is happening is it is effecting those with mental illness in ways not understood yet, exacerbating the problem, not creating it.
interesting field of study...

More support for keeping the kids off “devices” at an early age.
I have more trouble, though, with them running off and “hiding” somewhere with a book.
I found Bradbury's "The Veldt" to be a chilling read.
When we started mandatory drugging of students for the benefit of drug companies and prescribing SSRHs to the horror of the researcher who discovered them.
The empowerment comes at a steep cost of shooting down bourgeois ideas.
There are a lot of people on “anti-psychotic” drugs in the US, but today the murder rate is at it’s lowest in 50 years.
Actually, die Welt is the world. A Veldt is a field.
“Nonsense. Antidepressants permanently change brain chemistry and have been long cited in acts of uncontrolled rage, extreme cruelty and suicidal depression. Read up on it, there’s plenty of info available on this subject.”
If that is the case, how do explain the fact that today more people than ever are on antidepressants and the murder rate is the lowest in 50 years?
Say what?
LOL, you're the person who invoked the scientific expression "egged on." I just thought you might have some cricket studies to back it up. I guess I was wrong.
Funny you should bring that up, because mass murders have skyrocketed in the last 50 years, especially school shootings which virtually didn't exist before the last 50 years.
Not to mention that that's just one small effect of antidepressants. Did you check out the suicide rates connected to it? They're actually listed as a danger on the prescription itself. And look around at the collapse of emotional affect, the ever crueler movies and games and indifference to horror by whom? Liberals on antidepressants.
Because school nurses should of course hand out chemicals that permanently change a child brain chemistry. You know why? Because otherwise they'll need recess to blow off energy, that's why. So take the damn pill.
Well, I guess he’ll find out whether being a churchgoing murderer will get him into Heaven.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
I’m guessing that it is, sine he’s wearing orange.
Having done a little research on this topic, what I have found is that— so far as I can tell— every child and adult who have shot up a school, business, etc., were either currently on some psychotropic drug, or had only recently been taken off. Two of the three gentlemen who “discovered” ADHD have stated they made it up, and that it is a fictitious disease. The problem with school kids isn’t ADHD, it’s simply lack of discipline and direction. Drugs like Ritalin and Prozac are dangerous for adults, but for kids it’s worse, as their brains are undergoing the changes associated with growth, rendering the effects of these drugs highly volatile. That’s where the real problem lies... failing academic standards, failure to properly discipline, often a failure of proper parenting at home, and prescription drugs. Most of all, in cases such as this, the drugs.
