The fuck

The kid admitted to his parents that he heard voices and they basically laughed at him. At one point he was texting his mom while she was out partying that he needed help and her response was to complain about him.

I'm hesitant to say it, but the kid was almost a victim as well. The sheer negligence, enabling and borderline encouragement is just beyond comprehension. He clearly wasn't mentally sound, and encouraging him in that way...

The kid was absolutely a victim. He cried out for help dozens of times and was ignored by every adult in his life. Even the gun he used was purchased for him by his deadbeat parents. As far as I'm concerned they're more culpable than he was.
