Little squirt shot his dad in the back, and probably killed his mom in the same, cowardly way (only his mother's dismembered legs were recovered - he burned both parents' heads in the fireplace, and likely threw the rest of her body in a river). Bart and Krista never even had a chance to defend themselves from their evil, runt-of-the-litter son. The sooner he's in the locked cage he'll die in, the better. Think very hard before you have kids folks. As 'We Need to Talk About Keven' author Lionel Shriver says, having children is like leaving your front door open - you never know who's gonna show up!

@haleyt3754 You make some valid points., and I understand where you're coming from. I agree, the parents must have spotted issues in their youngest son, long before he murdered them both. The truth is, there are always red flags to be picked up by parents when a child is going wrong. Ditto with toxic romantic relationships. But too often parents wilfully ignore or dismiss the signs, as do the girlfriends and wives of the overwhelmingly male, psychopathic/narcissistic wife killers/family annihilators. Historically the received wisdom about 'children' who killed their parents (even adult children like Chandler Halderson), was always that they were cruelly mistreated as kids by those parents, either wilfully abused or coldly neglected. Perversely, these killers were presented by some academics as victims themselves. But in recent years it's increasingly being recognised monsters can be moulded by the opposite conditions - an over indulgent parent or parents. Indulgent parental figures who fail to outline and enforce boundaries and expectations of good behaviour in their progeny, and respect the rights of others. Such parenting can create such dangerously entitled and narcissistic adults, they are even capable of murder in their own self interest. I believe that's what we're seeing in the case of Chandler Halderson, and similar, recent parent-killers like Grant Amato and Joel Guy Jnr. All grown men in their twenties who killed their parents when they belatedly threatened to remove their financial support - support that should have ended many years earlier! These young men weren't grateful for the sacrifices their parents had made to keep them, long beyond childhood. On the contrary, they took it as their due, and were enraged when their father (in every case), told them the free ride was ending. I believe modern western societies are breeding a new category of stunted male - the 'man child'. Unlike their fathers who expected to become adults at 21, with full time jobs, mortgages and families to support, today's males expect to stay dependant teenagers right through their twenties - and often into their thirties too!

@haleyt3754 Yes, there are very clear parallels in the three cases. Belatedly saying no to their spoiled, dependant kids in their twenties and threatening to end the free ride, cost all three parents their lives (and Grant Amato murdered his brother too, whose $60,000 savings he had stolen).
