Child Kills Parents

          Can you imagine a child killing his or her own parents and family? Well, according to CNN News in the article ''Horrific' New Mexico shooting leaves 5 dead; investigators arrest 15-year-old' that is exactly what happened. Sheriff Dan Houston said, "A 15-year-old boy, who may be a family member, was charged with two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse resulting in death." I just can't imagine anyone, especially a child wanting to hurt their own family. I just recently watched a movie called 'The House at the End of the Street' and the same thing happened in it, except it was a little girl that had killed both of her parents. The article also states, "Investigators said the dead included a man, a woman and three grade-school-age children -- two girls and a boy." I just can't imagine a 15-year-old boy going crazy enough to kill his own family. I personally, couldn't live without my family, so I don't know what he was thinking.
          Even though there are some differences between this story that happened in Mexico and the movie I watched, you can still see the connection between the kids killing their loved ones. The CNN article says, "He said investigators are unaware of any criminal history with the teen.." I don't think that this teenage boy would randomly do something like this. Something had to have triggered that kind of behavior. The little girl in the movie did have something wrong with her, and her parents weren't the best influences, which I also think had a lot to do with it. It is also very ironic that "The family lived in a large home at the end of a street on the southwestern edge of Albuquerque." The fact that both families lived on the end of the street is kind of freaky to think about. I know that has nothing to do with what happened with the children, but it's still pretty ironic.
