After shooting his father in the back, 11 year old tells investigators there will be a part 2 if he doesn’t get a PlayStation, Xbox and a PC

Kid has access to a loaded firearm and has an "if I don't get my way fuck everything" attitude. I'll bet a $100 his parents are republicans.
The kid did not have what anyone would consider "access" under normal circumstances. There isn't much you can do against someone determined to get past a lock.
It's an extremely complicated issue. Could this kid even get rehabilitated? Is there any way to save him at this point? Do we just lock him up until he gets fine?
If you want the kid to commit murder in the future, then yeah, spanking is the way to go.
True but the kid wouldn't have had access to a gun in most countries.
Gun was locked up and he still got at it. As has already been stated in this topic, it's not about gun control. It's about a mentally unstable child who would find a way to hurt somebody no matter what
This kid needs help FAST. Also, kids are smart, this little guy knew where stuff was and how to get it....gun safes are pointless if they aren't stored well
It really is about both. I know it must be difficult when you've grow up with guns being normalised in society but from the outside, in the majority of people in countries without the major gun proliferation find it strange how the number of gun related deaths are so high in America but the laws never change. Its the main reason I would never move to America.
After reading about the father jailed earlier this week for attempting to organise an acid attack on his three-year-old child in order to get back at the estranged mother, nothing will surprise me again. It's clear that this kid is unwell. I hope he gets the health that he needs. I just wonder if there is more to the story.
If you know so much about this country you would also we have a serious mental health crisis. If this kid didn't get gun he'd have stabbed his father in the back. Getting rid of the guns wouldn't have stopped this kid from hurting someone. He would have found a way.
I couldn't imagine wanting to peel my dad's cap because he didn't let me play video games. Jesus. Get that kid some help. At least the poor guy lived.
This seems to ignore that there was effort involved with acquiring access to the firearm and dismissive of the mental health issue at the core. No doubt the US has a gun issue but there are bigger issues at play here.
What behavior are you referring to? What are these telltale signs?
Same here this is just wild. When my old man took my games away as punishment for something, my ass would plot ways to play them on the low then put them back in his stash spot before he got home from work. My father owned a few guns and shooting him never once crossed my mind. This kid needs help, has some severe mental issues going on obviously. Good luck to him and his family because by the looks of it they are going to need it.
It's rarely as obvious as we like to make it out to be in hindsight.
I feel like Resetera would struggle with the things my mum says.
Guaranteed she would suggest capital punishment, and maybe some kind of sentence for the parents too.
People aren't treated as expendable in society you utter maniac.
You seem to know a lot about the mental state of the kid! There is big difference with pulling a trigger and stabbing someone. If you have this attitude towards guns then it's no surprise America has the problem it does.
You realize this kid is likely a sociopath, right? He already got the animal torture marker.
You don't even need to know that to realize it. The fact he gets arrested and while arrested says there will be a part 2 if he doesn't get his games? Add in the fact this was a planned attack and not even a heat of passion. That in itself says something ain't right with that kid and looks very much like a psychopath.
