very painful but the boy didn’t look like a mental person may be he did it on purpose thru jealousy for his brother.
Parents should try and show love to children equally
if u like one over another, don’t show it

Our youths nd close monitoring & attention. Many parents are too busy to attend to their children.We need to find time to guide & direct them when they are still young. Bible says ” Train up your child in the way he go”pro 22:6. God wl help us. This is a lesson for young couples

A lot of ignorant comments here on mental illness. A family that loves a child or family member suffering with mental illness will always try to do their best for them even if that means sacrificing the home to look after them. Mental illness has varying degrees of presentation – some can function from a home setting whilst taking medication. Unfortunately in this case, the child snapped for whatever reason and the family suffered a direct consequence of their love for that child. Easy to judge unless you live within the dilemma.
