CHILDREN WHO KILLED THEIR PARENTS: 20 Shocking True Crime Stories of Parricide: Volume 2
The ultimate betrayal. The ultimate nightmare.What drives a child to slaughter the very people who gave them life?
In Children Who Killed Their 20 Shocking True Crime Stories of Parricide Volume 2, Morbid Mysteries returns to the darkest, most disturbing corners of the human psyche to explore 20 shocking true crime cases of parricide. These are not stories of strangers in the night. These are stories of the monsters living down the hall.
From calculated, cold-blooded executions to explosive frenzies of unimaginable violence, this volume pulls back the curtain on the terrifying reality of children who turned their homes into slaughterhouses. Meticulously researched and unflinchingly detailed, this book examines the psychological breaking points, the twisted motives, and the gruesome aftermaths of the ultimate family betrayal.

•The Oregon School How Kip Kinkel’s descent into madness began with the point-blank execution of his parents in their own home, leaving their bodies hidden while he armed himself for a massacre.
•The Mastermind The terrifying case of Erin Caffey, a sweet-faced teenager who orchestrated the brutal slaughter of her entire family—listening to their screams from a car parked outside while her boyfriend wielded a sword and a gun.
•The Satanic Sean Sellers, the youngest person executed in the US since 1959, who claimed demonic possession drove him to shoot his mother and stepfather in the face as they slept.
•The Hammer The gruesome reality of Daniel Bartlam, a 14-year-old boy obsessed with violent television, who bludgeoned his mother to death with a claw hammer before setting her body on fire to cover his tracks.
•The Italian Erika De Nardo, who, alongside her boyfriend, subjected her mother and little brother to a frenzied, hours-long knife attack, stabbing them nearly 100 times in a horrific display of rage.
•The Poisoned The chilling historical case of Violette Nozière, a French teenager living a double life, who systematically poisoned her parents to fund her secret, scandalous lifestyle.
•The Shotgun The tragic and violent story of Richard and Deborah Jahnke, siblings who armed themselves with a 12-gauge shotgun and an M-1 carbine to execute their abusive father as he returned home from celebrating his anniversary.
•The Brazilian Suzane von Richthofen, a wealthy law student who let her boyfriend and his brother into her family’s mansion, waiting downstairs while they beat her sleeping parents to death with iron bars.
•The Desperate Stacey Lannert, who endured a decade of horrific sexual abuse before finally picking up a rifle to stop her father from doing the same to her younger sister.
•The Cold-Blooded Lowell Lee Andrews, a seemingly perfect college student who calmly read The Brothers Karamazov while waiting for his family to finish watching television, before gunning them all down with a semi-automatic rifle.
Children Who Killed Their Parents is a gripping, graphic, and deeply unsettling journey into the minds of youth driven to the ultimate act of violence. It forces us to confront the terrifying reality that sometimes, the most dangerous person in the world is the child sleeping in the next room.

tragic
Although this was a well written and good book, it’s tragic that the agencies failed these children. The schools Social Services and the police solve the abuse and let the children in the situation.
