14 Year old boy kills parents to avoid doing chores

Chevy13 · 01-28-2010, 07:51 AM

WTF is this world coming to? I remember having plenty of disagreements with my parents at that age but never EVER did something like this cross my mind!! I would never hit or disrespect my parents in any way let alone even think about killing them! I don't know why kids are becoming so disrespectful nowadays maybe they need to get some good old fashion ass whoopings! but now you can't even touch your kids without getting in some bigass trouble! Some people call me crazy when I say that but it's not like I'm talking about beating your kids, I'm talking about disciplining kids. I don't know if many of you were hit as kids but I sure learned my lesson when I got a good belt to the ass! and I might be wrong but it seems like this kind of stuff didn't happen as much and kids respected their elders a lot more than they do now. I know this case probably has nothing to do with what I'm saying because maybe the kid was just not "all there" mentally but I still wish people weren't so sensitive about hitting their kids the way we use to get disciplined when we were out of line. I don't know maybe It's just me because there's a lot of parents where I work that won't even think about hitting there kids they feel "Time-Outs" are more effective. I guess it might be for some kids but most of these kids have no manners and the parents can't handle them when they bring them into work so I don't see it.

I dont think it is just that. Its gotta be some more issues the kid had with his parents. You just dont kill someone if they ask you to do something once. He must have felt some pressure about many things in the past, insecurities, etc.

I am not justifying it at all, but just saying that there has to be more behind this story. And yes, parents shouldnt be afraid to hit their kids to discipline if needed.

Timeouts arent always effective, you just take away their video games, tv usage, internet, cell phones, for a week, etc. Until you see the change. Of course if that doesnt work, then you can hit. I was slapped across the face as a child if I really stepped outta line. It worked. I think a limited amount of that plus incentive based punishments should work.

Yeah I'm guessing the kid has some serious issues and wasn't simply trying to get out of doing his chores.

I'm with THAT.........Hog0 is lucky to still be breathin'

Hope they fry the little bastard...whether he had "issues" or not

MTK · 01-28-2010, 09:28 AM

Fry a 14 year old? Sweet.

After the shootings, police say, Caudle spent the rest of his day watching movies and playing on a computer. The next morning he took his stepfather's truck and drove to school. When questioned, Caudle's teachers told investigators he seemed "happy" that day.

Yeah, this kid clearly has sever issues. A normal person doesn't shoot his parents and then just sit around the same house for the rest of the day.

Should've clarified. Sorry. I think they will probably try him as an adult, and as such, he will receive the death penalty. At his age though, i'm not sure if he can elect a fast-track execution. i know sometimes you can.

Makes me think of Christopher Pittman, who executed his grandparents when he was 12. It was a deliberate murder. He shot them both to death. He was given 30 years in prison...

Regardless of how he is tried you can't sentence a minor to death. Roper v. Simmons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SolidSnake84 · 01-28-2010, 10:42 AM

You are correct. As with Christopher Pittman, they waited until he was 18 to try him.

This i'm sure will be the same way

Again, it doesn't matter when or how they try him. What matters is how old he was when he committed the crime. Since he was a minor when he did it he isn't eligible to receive the death penalty.

Tell you what happen, parents forgot to put the fear of God in their, kids, now kids walk around like they got all the power, talking back, spitting on their parents, telling them what they will and want do, hum? I can tell you this, that wouldn't happen in my family or anyone I know, I grew up with Circle, giving you kids "Time Out", Shit, you better knock them the F*ck out!!!!!! But this kind of behavior happens more upper class, I seen and heard kid's call they mom or dad's Bitches,..... WOW, if we would of fixed our lips to say some shit like that, before we got the B out, my mom, would have slung our ass, across the room...... But what can you expect these days, when you negotiate with your children, like they are equals and grown!!!!!!
