I highly doubt that that the reason that child murdered his parents was to avoid taking out the trash. My guess is that the headline is just a journalist's way of catching your attention. A thorough investigation on this matter has not been carried out; therefore, the motive is unclear at this point. So it's unfair to conclude that, "Dude killed his parents over taking out the trash."
Hmm. I bet it was over the trash though. Didn't something similar like this happen with some kids that wanted to open up a coffee shop in Amsterdam? I don't put nothin' past kids these days. But I bet this gets blamed on some sort of mental "disorder"... everything seems to be blamed on some sort of disorder these days.

In my opinion, it's not that simple. Typically, mentally stable children who are raised in healthy households do not go around murdering their parents. There may be more to this case than what meets the eye.

For one, there is a step father involved. Not to draw on any stereotypes, but there may have been a history of child abuse/neglect. And why did his mother divorce his biological father? Again, domestic violence and/or abuse is a possibility.

Why didn't his stepfather keep his handgun locked and hidden? Why didn't his mother see to it that he does? Surely, any responsible parent would. I'm not suggesting that it's a justification for murder, but I am suggesting that it's a clue that his parents may have been dysfunctional.

And of course, there's always the possibility of an undiagnosed mental illness.

Basically, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions before learning more about this case.
I was being facetious fore the most part. I just thought it was contradictory for the author to put that in there considering the crime committed.
