I am sure the bio dad wasn't at all abusive to the "little punk" (heavy on the sarcasm).
OH and yet he had custody right? Then WHY didn't the REAL mother have this kid at her house? What is her damage that she left this kid with this abusive father?


Where was i judgemental towards this kid?

The father bullied him and told him to knock it off and treat step mom in training with respect. That is not acknowledging this kids feelings and making him feel that his emotions were important and obviously getting him some psychological help. That is where they went wrong. Kids don't just say things without a reason. She was pregnant with a boy, he was the only boy in the house until this new baby. Her kids were there but that is NOT the same as them having a child TOGETHER. I Think he was possessive of his dad and couldn't stand having to share him with some woman who wasn't his mom, let alone a new baby. Maybe he thought the dad would stop loving him with this new baby in the picture. He should have receieved counseling or been sent to a place that could really get tothe root of his problems.

Even abused kids usually do not kill their parents because they LOVE them. There was no love between this woman and this kid from his perspective.
He is a punk. Pretty much ALL 11-14 yr old kids are punks, If you have ever raised a tween you would know. Doesn't mean he is evil or wicked. But kids that age are a bit snotty trying to find their identity and push the rules as far as they can. That is their job. Unfortunately this kid's parents failed him and he wasn't able to just tolerate the abuse or whatever.

He didn't kill DAD by the way, he killed mom in training. Regardless of the crap his dad did to him, his murdering this women and her unborn child is not excused because he was abused. It certainly makes it easier to understand his motives, but it doesn't make it ok. HE should have reported his dad for abuse and perhaps ended up with another family member or foster family, but really he would have been out of this toxic situation.


If mom had a protection of order against the dad than it is a shame she LEFT HER SON with him. I already stated if this kid had been talked to and they listened to his issues with the new lady in the house and her new baby on the way this never would have happened. If any of his parents had ACTED like parents this never would have happenned. Giving your kid a gun and then abusing him you are ASKING for him to put a cap in yr A**. But the kid is the one who now suffers for life because of this.

too much GTA & COD! i'm sorry but i think all this exposure to glorified violence has desensitized a whole generation of kids and made some of them into sociopaths with no heart or conscience. We see it on the news all the time where teens shoot other innocent kids in drive-by's just because they can. I think this 11yo is just another example.
