Rosemary’s baby.. so sorry for this poor woman 😧😓
We had one of her in my hometown in the early 70s
Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.✝️☘️💕
Don’t they know that his mindset is still a child’s.
Kid was psycho!! The Mother should of gotten rid of the weapon, or have a different way of storing her weapon. Its a horrible story!
If not gun, it would be kitchen knife. If not knife, it would be a hammer or a brick.
You can defend your self if he didn’t have a gun
Sad.
The cameras set up to monitor him were mysteriously unplugged a week earlier, he removed the keys to the gun safe the night before…this was premeditated HOWEVER he will probably be found insane and committed to an asylum
Perhaps less weapons would be better for America?
If Jeffrey Dahmer had a child…
😆😅😣😂 #serialkillercity
I bet he cries, like a baby, when sentenced, too.
She’s prob a terrible mum too..
That demon child needs to be erased from the planet. His evil can’t be cured it’s who he is. will only get worse. How many healthy young men end up dying in jail. What’s one more. It’s not like the prison staff hasn’t been successful with hiding the death of an inmate. I’m not asking anything that they aren’t comfortable doing. So what’s one more.
Why were the cameras unplugged and why was there even a gun in the home -locked or not? I guess it doesn’t matter anymore because the damage is done. That kid should never see the light of day – he is not wired right. Only good thing is that hopefully someone will see this and take it seriously with action if they have a similar issue.
There is nothing wrong with having a locked gun in the house. That is what you are supposed to do when you have children. The issue is that she should have double checked for that key twice a day knowing who she was living with. She should also have gotten those cameras set back up immediately and monitored them daily.

@Illuminator still dumb though. Smart people can say pretentious convoluted nonsensical things too. Like it’s just a dumb, dumb quote lol
@WH Sort of like you, you aren’t saying anything of substance in here 😆🤣 Yeah, you’re 6, even if you’re 46, you’re 6, mentally 😂😅
@Illuminator OK there bud lol
@WH Sure thing, little guy 😆🤣
@Illuminator lol
This kid is demonized and need to have an exorcism done ; but yet he still needs to be punished because of his history of events shows that every act was premeditated….. He has enough sense to be incausarated at a mental institution
For at least two decades or more…..
Amazon is responsible as well as Facebook meta for pushing virtual reality!!!
bro did all this for a vr headset lmao
He’s 10. He needs help not charged with murder from the state.
Give him the death penalty for the animal abuse alone 🖕🏻
Dear Father God, I praise and thank You for Your loving-kindness and great mercy which is new every morning and remains steadfast and sure throughout the day – to strengthen and hold. Thank You for the glory of the cross.. knowing that I was a estranged from Your heart of love and an outcast from the kingdom of heaven
Send him to his mom
Soo he 10 years old is old enough to be charged as an adult but not old enough for an age of consent to anything legally binding make this make sense.
Not the poor 🐶. I hope the dog is ok.
He shot his mother on purpose. I don’t believe that was an accident.
If only mom had a gun too. NEED MOAR GUNZ!!!!!
Great, I hope more American families follow this.😄🤙
Another Jeffrey Dahmer in the making, lock up this psycho for life, he should have been put in an institution 6 years ago at 4 years old, this kid needed me for a mom, he would be the one dead
I know how to solve this issue, let’s teach 6 year olds gun safety so that this never happens, also the woman needed another gun to protect herself from her son, let’s make gun laws more lenient!
I hope he gets put away for life
This is scary, he has all sign of serial killer
someone should just take the child out of the gene pool. no excuses.
Parents fault for not locking gun away
So a seriously mentally ill child is actually being charged?
I can guarantee he didn’t have a father
What was the father gonna do he is still a psycho with or without a father
a psychopath before the age of 10…..sad…
Why did a ten y.o. have a gun?
HAIL SATAN!!
I think knowing exactly the backgrounds of everyone involved will help clear things up and not have a need for speculation
He’s a bad seed ! Tomorrow he will be attacking a Christmas parade
Charging the 10 year old as an adult? HOW STUPID..🤦🏻♂️
Mineral deficiencies can cause all manner of disease. There is an epidemic of deficiency.
Just make sure your house is in order before you dissect someone else’s household. Prayers for the family and this wretched world.
THE DEVIL
Well now instead of being awoken up at 6 am by mom – it will be the nasty prison guard.
She didn’t allow him to make a purchase on Damnazon? Well I guess she got what she deserved!
A good bit of fatherly discipline would have probably sorted that kid out.
Insane to charge him as adult!! He is a child, 10 years old….the USA is insane! Why have a gun in the house anyway? If the boy had rage issues the parents must be investigated by child services! He is a child!!
So sad because what was she supposed to do. All she could’ve done was not have him…how was she supposed to know.
Second Amendment, foolish law that is no good for our country
It’s not a law it’s a right and that right protects us from being in a dictatorship
@Samsonite Capone “The U.S. Constitution is the nation’s fundamental law. It codifies the core values of the people.”
It is purely asinine for any country to have as one of its core values ‘death and destruction of itself’.
Yes, as you said the purpose of the Second Amendment supposedly was to enable the people to protect themselves against the government however it is abundantly clear that the government’s resources in terms of its military might easy outweighs the power vested in all of the long and short guns put together in the country.
As such the purpose of the Second Amendment as written is obsolete.
Historically guns have been used for three primary purposes:
As a tool for first level policing,
As a tool for hunting,
And as a tool for personal protection.
If everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty then whenever someone is killed extra judicially it is wrong even when that is done by police.
Statistically guns have proven to cause more harm and damage to the owner and his family then to the bad guys the gun was purchased to protect them from, as evidenced in this video.
@Truck Taxi you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, every single gorilla force the United States military has ever gone up against, out lasted them and were never defeteted. Do you have any idea how idiotic it sounds, to say we should give up our rights because the government is to powerful. That’s not going to make them any less powerful I can tell you that.
@Truck Taxi You’re words don’t impress us no matter how articulate it may be, just know that even the president gets protected by guns what you’re saying is completely hypocritical.
oh lawd chunky ! sleeping with one eye opand and the other eye close ! 2022, little kids will shoot u if u simply say 🚳 no!
Prosecutor likely won’t be able to hold the child culpable, ten is very young. Not saying he should or shouldn’t be held culpable – just saying it’s gonna be hard. What a tragedy, so young.
The beginnings of a sociopath. I know I shouldn’t judge kids, but he needs to be constantly monitored by professionals.
Sucks we have to live with him as a society.
It’s good that you got the little criminal now because who knows what he will grow up to be
Family is strait snitching on that boy 😅😅😅
I’ve never understood how kids get ahold of firearms. I know how. It just doesn’t make sense. Even a basic locking gun cabinet can prevent a 10yr old from getting your firearm.
Personally I’d never leave firearms out for any kid or anyone to even remotely have a chance for access.
To me,leaving firearms unsecured is irresponsible.
It was locked and kids can use keys. You gotta hide the key better lol
Wtf is this weirdness…..putting cameras in your home to watch your kids. That’s so f’n creepy. 1984 much?
Was a 10yr old fully aware of their constitutional rights to not speak to detectives? I bet not. But police asked him questions anyway. No way a 10yr old understands their rights in this situation.
A little dam Damien child!
Kids are not going to just shoot their mom over a VR set. Was he also being abused? Neglected? Undernourished? Is mom working too much? Where is dad?
So there are no gun problems in the US but yet a 10 yr old has access to one and fatally shoots his Mother. The red flags were a warning and sadly not heeded. So sad for everyone.
Hurt people hurt people
The kid is obviously disturbed. But I can’t help wondering what the family dynamic was like in his house?
It seems that the mom was an irresponsible parent who didn’t know her kid. She wanted to believe there was nothing wrong with him and left guns accessable to him. It’s not a gun problem. The gun would have set there and not bothered anybody. It’s the same problem it’s always been, irresponsible parenting and crazy people or “mentally challenged individual’s”. (There’s a lot of them though). lesson to be learned is know your kids don’t just think you do. I grew up knowing that the people who claimed to have raised me taught me nothing and didn’t know me at all. Most kids of people like this harm others. Don’t mean to sound cold but if people claim they grew up hard and that’s why they are bad people I would prefer that they take their rage out on the people who are really responsible ie mom and dad. Most people aren’t mentally prepared to have kids. Welfare puts a roof over poor people’s head and food in there stomach so the real problem is…….
Natural selection at this point letting that little psycho around a gun to begin with.
That kid needs to be locked up forever
So many gas lighting statements in this article.
Hope they don’t let him out after a year or claiming ‘good behavior.’ He’s never getting better, if anything, he’ll get worse. He has to remain behind bars for life.
Keep that kid locked up. He is a future, you know what.
Low functioning psychopath. He is textbook, not only for ASPD, but for a serial killer. Mom just wasn’t vigilant enough to outsmart him. What upsets me most is that the cops really couldn’t intervene until he actually did something. At best, his mom could have put him in a program for his condition, but that takes resources she may not have had.
This is fine. Unfortunately we need about 76 million more ‘accidents’ so the people who think they need guns get gunned in their social responsibility gland.
Typical black on black crime.
Tanner Horner, Lake Worth, Texas FedEx driver confesses to kidnapping and murdering 7 year old missing girl, Athena Strand while delivering package at the family Paradise home.
White guy kills a little white girl and the media doesn’t talk about it. Typical white on white crime .
Something isn’t being told this story makes no sense😢
Very sad situation. Also why even have a gun in a household with a child like this? Who are you protecting? If this kid grew older before a ‘first’ criminally punishable incident, who knows how much worse it could have been, ie school shooting.
No matter how we deal with a murderous 10 year old, it shouldn’t be in public, nor for adult contemplation.
Daddy wasn’t there…
He will be free in 8 years
that boy is a literal villain based off what comics do for villain origins. i wonder what his villain name will be?
Having a “key” that opens a gun safe is not actually safe. It should be locked with a code lock, no one can sneak the code out of your head while your sleeping or not looking.
Why don’t you all see the incident for what it truly is ! The boy is possessed by demons , they said that he hears voices and said that two people talk to him and tell him what to do . He was seeing a therapist who told the mom some very troubling things about the boy . The boy is clearly controlled by evil spirits .
It just steady disappointments me when everybody says they wish because as soon as you notice this you should be taking action . Regardless if whether it’s your child , it could’ve been you too
Well done, well done, NRA and Gun Lobby. Gun violence deaths are now at 40,900 for 2022. Many thought you wouldn’t claim 40,000 but now you should easily hit 42,000. I am impressed. You ghouls stand up and salute the NRA flag now … I mean, there is no cost too great to deny you your frigging guns is there?
Mothers killing children
And
Children killing their mothers
Foundational black American kids smh 🤦🏾♂️
This is one evil child who was born that way.
This is so terrible… and we try and try to get help but they just keep sending the child back home… this situation should have never happened
They call it a quiet neighborhood. But this always happens. 🤔
SMH 🤦🏽♂️, LIFE is unpredictable!
Hey, so when you use quotation marks you really don’t have to say quote.
yeahhh F having kids
But they want us to fear China and Russia when kids,cops, and kareans and gangbangers are killing us here in the states
Psychopath…
🤔 He’s not an adult but he should be removed from society. Unfortunately we don’t need that type of individual back with the rest of us.
This kid a republican hero!
No dad
Jesus America. What is going on over there???
Imagine giving birth to something and it kills you 10 years later.
We all know that they start off killing and torturing animals. And hating their guardians.
