I agree,
Most the time I don't think parents should be held responsible for their childs actions, however I do think the child should be evaluated to see if the parents played a role in this behavior. It gets really gray at what age do the children start doing what they want and not listening to anyone. It use to be a decent age but if you look at statistics parenting has dropped significantly and kids are doing more and more violent crimes at even younger ages.
Society could be to blame for this. You never know, but no matter what the parents should be evaluated. Kids don't simply wake up and start doing things like this without some sort of outside influence.
