Why??!!

“ We cannot say why this happened. We can say that he called 911 and advised what he did. From what I understand there were no other calls to the apartment and people here said he was a good kid and as far as we know there were no mental health issues. We just don't know why he did this. …," said police Lt. Eddie Rodriguez.

Wow. This is very tragic. I'd like to know what caused him to do this too.

From the People link above

According to the police spokesperson, the 13-year-old is a middle school honor student and was apologetic when officers arrived, reported Local 10.

Very strange.

This is terrible. I really don't think kids who murder people should get the privilege of staying anonymous.

Moo...maybe the mom was having postpartum symptoms? Maybe anger at mom , having a new baby in house will definitely cause changes in home life....moo

Is that her son on the left, with his hand on her stomach? I know it’s a thing for husband/daddy to do, but young sons? Maybe I’m too old fashioned.

Moo . Looks kinda tall for 13, but maybe. That is a big age gap between child births. What are the family dynamics? Is this baby his sister or half sister? He is 13, so technically a teenager but only just.....moo

I just see it as a pose for the photo.
Yes that is the son. I searched his mum's name on Facebook and that photo came up uncensored with the boy's name.

In reply to Nao, an article said the baby is his half sister

Moo.. so stepfather, new family stuff and new half sister. Wonder if everyone got along?..moo

 

[neesaki]

I wonder if he’s been watching Michael Myers. Just a thought.

I wondered if there could be some jealousy/resentment there at having a new man and baby in the house. But I have no idea how long his mum had been with her partner, it could be a long time.

This is heartbreaking, I never would have imagined something like this, a 13-year-old child taking his mother's life. It is a sad story," said police Lt. Eddie Rodriguez.

Police said they have no history with this family. "


As far as they know 'there were no mental health issues.' But they may not have recognised them, if there were some signs. I have to think there are some mental health issues because a mentally healthy, well coping 13 yr old honour student doesn't stab his Mom and then call LE and apologise. JMO

Could there have been some abuse or some extreme situation triggering it? IDK?

 

[Kemug]

Sadly this looks like jealousy of the new baby. He had been an "only" for so long, and then suddenly there was such a fuss about the new baby. But that must happen very often, without it leading to murder. Jealousy and anger might be normal reactions in many an older child, but murder? That's something else.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Sincere condolences to her loved-ones.

This seems different from a typical case of a child/teenager killing a parent.

I'm speculating some of the following may be true: if they study this boy's electronics they're going to find he's been accessing very violent content; he's taking some kind of prescription medication that affected him mentally; or a new mental health condition has appeared.

I don't imagine he's jealous of the baby, because she was unharmed.

This reminds me of the recent case where a girl inexplicably murdered her little brother. I believe she was taking prescription medication.

All JMO.

He is not trying to lie. I would not be surprised if he was not in a lucid state when he did it and indeed, it is a new condition emerging.

 

[Kemug]

He thinks it may have been bad to send pictures of his dead mother? Doesn't he think that it may have been bad to actually kill her? I wonder if his moral compass has always been this weird. Surely someone must have noticed there was something wrong, you would think.

Something is seriously wrong with this boy, though he looks more like he’s closer to twenty y/o than thirteen, IMO.
