what the heck is wrong with kids these days, or is the way the parents raise them? Other than the boy may have an illness.

ways the children of today are the product of today's parents, society, and education system. This is likely the results of the hover parents generation. And things are likely going to get worse.

Do you really think that stuff like this is only happening in this day and age? Stuff like this has been happening since the beginning of time, it's not just this generation. The parents who raised this kid came from a different generation, so maybe it's their generation that's the problem and now raising trouble makers in this generation. You can even go as far as saying the grandparents generation is the problem, because they raised this kids parents who are now raising the kid.  
 
Who knows what was going through this kids head at the time and as I'm sure the family is going through a difficult time now because of it. Really it's a family matter and because of that, it's none of our business.

he was already on a court order, as per the charge "breach of court order" so this wasn't his first run in with the law, he has been charged previously.

this has gone on in other generations the media just didnt have the ability to spread the news as far, In my school two kids killed their parents and younger brother, as well as a dad shot my BFF her brother the dog and himself, my grandpa knew of stories like that too that he told me when i was grieving and my niece also had a incident at her school in the states, so its not new by any means but hopefully the boy gets some help, whatever kind of help he needs

You know this family and the circumstances of what happened? Do tell.  
FYI that's sarcasm! Unless you're in the know you shouldn't pretend you're an expert.

For those of you making assumptions, please stop.  
Perfect example of why we need days like Jan 25th "Lets Talk". There are many times the child (or adult) have underlying mental issues, or a combination of factors. Please don't blame parents. There is a chance that these parents need love, support and compassion- not judgement and criticism, and that may extend to the child.  
Dealing with mental, physical, and addiction issues that can be co-occurring can be a very lonely place to be.  
Takes a village.

and that is why I said in my first post, that the boy may have an illness. I was not judging, only wondering aloud.

Actually you made a blanket statement saying what is wrong with kids these days and then wondered if the parents were the problem. But ya you did toss in illness at the end so I guess it's allowed.  
 
But like TYM said it's always been happening. If you think this is the first time a kid has done something disturbing to his parents you live under a rock. Thanks to the media, social etc news spreads a lot easier and quicker these days.
