Teen who killed family

I was channel surfing today when I came upon this story on court tv about a teen, Cody Posey, who killed three people(father, stepmother, and sister)in New Mexico. I was in shock to hear so many people trying to justify why he committed such heinous crimes against his family. There are reports of him being abused physically and mentally abused by his parents, but if that is so why did he kill his sister too? I will tell you why; to leave no witnesses. Thats what murderers do.

I listened to Nancy Grace try to compare this case to the Lionel Tate case, but there is no comparision between the two except for them murdering innocent people. I am in no way excusing what Lionel Tate did, but these are two different cases that occurred in two different states with each state having their own set of rules for handling such cases. For those not familiar with the Lionel Tate case; he is the teen from Florida who was convicted and sentenced to life for killing his playmate Tiffany Eunick while allegedly performing wrestling moves on her. The sentence was later overturned. The young man accused of killing his family planned it out to the last detail. Cody Posey even tried to cover his own tracks, so what does that tell you? The defense had witnesses testify that they saw Cody being abused, but no one reported it to social services or even to the police........ Isn't that a crime in itself? It must not have been serious enough to report, so why is it an issue now?

A lot of young people today have no regard for humanity whatsoever. Violence amongst teenagers has been on the rise for the last 10 to 15 years, but it seems to have gotten worse within the last 6 years. We can only hope and pray for our future generations to come. If you are a Parent, GrandParent, Uncle, Aunt, Neighbor please try to help break this awful chain of violence plaguing our youth and destroying our nation.
