Jmo, but the entire premise of wife swap was to make the mother's look overbearing it eccentric or incapable. These shows we're scripted, sensationalized and cartoonish. I think the manual was probably written by a staff writer for the show. There may indeed be grave disfunction in the family, but I would seriously think twice before taking that episode at face value. Wife swap is reality TV at it's worst. Fake and exploitive. Just saying.

I'm not sure why a deeply religious family, or any family, would appear at all on one of those shows. As for lying, people lie for lots of reasons.... To make themselves look better, look worse (depending on their motive), to deflect...Yes, I can go with that about the show, but why would a deeply religious family lie about their lifestyle for a trashy TV show?
He said: “It was a rapid, you know, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, then time enough to reload, and another five or six shots so I thought it was target practice.”

http://www.cantonrep.com/news/20170616/sheriff-jacob-stockdale-shot-himself-as-deputies-arrivedJacob Stockdale survived. His body was found just inside the door, Maier said
http://www.tmz.com/2017/06/20/wife-...ect-jacob-stockdale-shotgun-mom-brother-head/Jacob allegedly shot his younger brother, James, once in the head near the front door ... then unloaded on himself about 10 feet from James' body. Jacob shot himself in the face with the shotgun ... and miraculously survived.
Sources close to the case tell us Jacob was trying to communicate with officers when they arrived, but they couldn't understand him.
With his ready smile, great sense of humor, and outgoing personality, James was a well-known catalyst for family fun. He enjoyed dancing, skiing, farming, fishing, hunting, and camping, displaying an innate love of nature. He easily made new friends wherever he went and leaves behind many friends and family who love him dearly.
Kathy’s love of learning led her to continuously seek knowledge and wisdom, freely sharing them with others. She focused on Christ and family and fully embraced her role as mother and grandmother. As the Canton area Weston A. Price Foundation chapter leader, Kathy was a champion of local sustainable agriculture, food freedom, health, and homesteading.
Kathy pursued a classical liberal arts education for her sons through homeschooling. She was a wonderful teacher committed to discerning truth and the pursuit of learning. She never shied away from a spirited discussion, encouraging the boys to engage in debate both in class and at home. While teaching certainly took place in the classroom, it permeated everything she did with her sons. Kathy passionately pursued her sons’ betterment through education not only in the standard subjects, but through her passion for their health, spiritual growth, and political and economic philosophy.
it definitely is not clear to me who was found at the front door, although previous articles have indicated it was Jacob.

I hear ya gitana, and you make some good points. OTOH, Jacob didn't just internalize feelings of helplessness and incompetence, he committed matricide and fratricide. Many of the studies I've read indicate that often when children turn violent against family members there is also a history of physical and/or sexual abuse in the home. Currently we don't have any information that Jacob was physically or sexually abused so for now I'm reluctant to ascribe his crime to a single factor. But I do agree that kids in a family can and do cope differently so I get what you're saying.
Don't get me wrong; way back when I watched the Wife Swap episode I was thoroughly disgusted by the family's so-called parenting methods. I also have deep issues with religious fundamentalism so I'm in no way trying to excuse or diminish what I consider to be abusive treatment by the parents.
I guess I'm drawing my dots in pencil for now instead of ink while I wait for more information. I don't doubt Jacob's bizarre upbringing was more harmful than helpful but was it enough to cause him to murder or was it just the tip of the iceberg?
It must be Jacob, with James in the kitchen. There have been no suggestions of anyone else being armed.

I don't think we will ever know exactly what happened.
Why so many shots? Who was shot multiple times?
Agreed. And if he's in critical condition, his chances don't seem to be great, so it's unlikely we would get anything from him, whether true or false: Critical: Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.
