14 year old psychopath kills parents

I think a part from this actual event of a boy killing his parents, this part of the article creeped me out the most...

Court documents indicate Caudle told investigators that after the murders, he played on his computer and watched movies before driving his stepfather's truck to school the next day.

Perhaps those computer games and movies he was watching had a hand in why he killed his parents to begin with. I can't help but think of how mind-controlled this boy must have been to do this. Either that or just pure psycho... :/
 
Reading this made me think of parents, that is "human" parents, with psychopathic children. How difficult must it be to realize (if you realize) that your own child is purely evil, or devoid of emotions? How painful to love one's child to later realize that he/she carelessly hurts, or in some cases gains pleasure from hurting people?

I agree that this is very disturbing. If the games and movies had anything to do with it, I would imagine he already had a genetic predisposition to this kind of violence. I say this because, while I no longer condone watching movies and playing games with tons of violence as they can be quite desensitizing, most children who play these games, like I and many of my friends did as kids, did not turn out to be violent in any way.

And to kill your parents simply because you do not want to do chores? I guess he didn't think through that he's only 14 and who will take care of him with his parents gone? This kid has some serious issues, probably a lot of it genetic as they did not mention him being abused or anything like that.
 
I don't want to make light of this story here, but, i'm trying to imagine that happening and it sounds like a cartoon. He watched some movies after he killed his parents????? If someone dies in a cartoon, it's not real and there's no real consequinces, it's a fantasy. It was like the kid didn't account for the FACTS of what he had done. Does that make any sense? I can clarify if needed.
Makes me wonder if psychopaths watch cartoon network.

I think you just summed up psychopathy rather nicely, actually. Or at least one major facet of it.

Well, i read one of the psycho-threads that talked about how psychos don't deal with facts very well. and I was thinking that since a cartoon is all fantasy, like the perspective of a psychopath, the two just seem related, or at least intertwine at some point, fwiw.

The kid just kills his parents, and then it's business as usual. No remorse, no concern.

14 is plenty old enough for a normal person to go "oh, **** I've killed my parents!! what have i done?" What does this kid do? Plays on the computer. We don't know anything for sure, of course. I don't know all the

circumstances involved, so I couldn't call it if i wanted to.
 
This is the kind of story that makes me wonder: were there any signs of the coming trouble? was he an average kid that just bam, and snapped? or was there, in retrospect, something wrong for a while?
 
According to court documents, Caudle stepped out and shot him in the back of the head as he walked past his hiding spot.

Okay, that right there is creepy. It sounds like something that happens in a video game! I can't count the number of times i've pulled that move in a video game,

hiding and then pop out at your best opportunity. It was definately premeditated in that case, pulling a move like that. Not that it's a very fancy move, that isn't the point.

The point is the absolute coldness of a close range shot to the head. And there's also the fact that all they did (reportedly) was tell him to clean his room? That's what sparked a

double murder? Still a lot left to speculation.

Actually, it's funny that you mention this but this is exactly why I thought it may have something to do with the video games he was playing if they were like 1st person shooters. Because I used to play 1st person shooter games too and you're right and I'll admit, I've done the same while playing those games.

And I agree Brenda, I don't think a lot of people who play video games (like me) end up killing people. But maybe people who are mind-programed or 'greenbaumed' or something may go off. Like the guy who started sniping people off in some city (I forget which) in the US after Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Vice city i think it was came out.

Exactly what I thought about too. Things like did he have trauma in his childhood? Maybe his hatred for his parents went deeper than "cleaning up chores" issue and no one knows. Maybe the kid was what Martha Stout calls a 'switcher' maybe he 'switched' shot his parents- than 'switched' again and sat there playing video games.

Who knows...
 
It is shocking and tragic. As much as every story of psychopaths that commit murder.
I'm curious about how the boy got two guns from the safe and did he actually have them for two days while he was 'brooding?' Something about the way the story is written bothers me, but it seems to be hosted on several other sites, so I'm not really doubting it.

I am interested in the rest of the story though to fill in missing pieces, but as it stands, it does look like abstract's phrase:

"it's business as usual. No remorse, no concern"

It is mind-boggling to try and imagine what he did as no more significant to him than any other 'business.'

Actually this was a passing thought for me as well when I first read the article. How easily a 14 y.o boy can grab a gun from a safe and no one would notice. And what kind of parents keep guns in the house? With easily accessible bullets and how the kid knew how to load the gun and everything. Unless the gun was already loaded which again brings questions of why is there a loaded gun in the house?

I do realize that it is a 2nd amendment right for Americans to own a gun, but I've always hated this "amendment" and I think it does more harm than good. This case makes a great example of that.
 
I was doing a search to see what other information I could find out about this case. I came across a forum where the family was being discussed. In the midst of the discussion two people came on who knew someone in the family. I think this is unusual and am now not sure about the accuracy of the information. Anyway, if anyone is interested it's here.

It's mainly the replies of becker and sharalk that are relevant.
 
In the Dailymail article we can also read the following excerpt :

Caudle remained in the house overnight playing computer games as his parents' dead bodies lay sprawled on the floor.

The following morning he drove his stepfather's pick up truck to school where teachers said he appeared 'happy'.

So this kid premeditate the killing of his two parents because they dared asking him to clean his bedroom, then he played videogames next to the dead bodies and happily drove to school.

Well that's just flabbergasting :jawdrop:

It is my understanding that this is because psychopaths from birth are without the capacity to understand the concept at all. Objectivity can only be a sound byte to them, nothing else. Some of the smarter ones may have a working abstract definition for it, as one can define what is felt to be false, or rather what is not felt to be true.

It could be said that they can’t live any other way than by YCYOR. Since there is no emotional connection to anything or anyone, than all is expendable to them when arranging their life to satisfy desire.
