and people swear this type of parenting is good. it's terrible and breeds resentment. this type of murder is not uncommon
From the text messages that were shown his parents weren’t doing much more than any proper parent would for a rambunctious, rebellious child. They scolded him, told him they were disappointed, took away privileges, but they also went to great lengths to help him. They got him tutors he wasn’t going to, a therapist he wasn’t seeing. The father was coming off like he was giving tough love but still believed in his son, still encouraging him.
This doesn’t COME OFF like the parents were beating him or doing anything too out of the ordinary. Either this kid is a stone cold sociopath and was mentally predisposed to murder or he really is innocent. I don’t see any other explanation based on the evidence at hand
