I don't wish any aspect of that story on anyone. A father lost his son, Cops had to kill a kid, I believe it is traumatic to shoot anyone especially a kid. I'm guessing this kid has been an issue for the parents, that is why they called the law. What normal kid is mad at their parents for not buying them smokes? Kid wasn't a 5 year old. Not gonna go to jail for beating a minor. Some kids have issues, partnering is tough, scariest thing about parenting, you can try everything, do everything, and in the end the kid is still human and may make bad/wrong decisions. Nobody here has made any of those. This whole story sucks.
