In a bizarre incident, a teenager killed his father in Bihar's Darbhanga district for not providing adequate pocket money to him.The teenager identified as Mohammad Qauam killed his father Mohammad Ashim by first stabbing him and then hitting him with a lathi The SHO said the son told interrogators that he took the extreme step as his father refused to pay the pocket money as demanded by him and used to misbehave with him and his mother...why do such incidents happen? how can a son kill his own dad? does he deserve a capital punishment? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Good day..God what's happening to our youth, killing their parents for pocket change. I mean this is way to scary and alarming to ignore. Like I've said before is this where our society headed? I can't even imagine how one can do such a thing of a sound mind. It's way too scary.

What can I say? The son is most certainly in the wrong, but there might be more to this than meets the eye. The son could have been abused, or he could have been spoiled rotten. The son may have never had morals embedded in him. This boy will get what he deserves.

Hi friend,That boy would have'nt been brought up with love and care.He is not in his senses.His parents are to be blamed.They should have taken care and brought him up with good behaviour and obedience.They should have known his nature certainly and according to that they should have disciplined him.have a nice day.happy mylotting.

We have that over here, too. Kids kill their parents, one lately killed his dad for telling him to get a haircut. Yes, they should be punished. Lawyers here usually trot out psychologists who say the kids were victims of low self esteem or genuinely mentally ill and the kids get off with mental treatment or probation. The kids who should be murderers, who are beaten and abused, are more often killed themselves instead of killing their tormentors. It's an evil world out there. We encourage it by not teaching our children correctly and indulging their whims, neglecting to expose them to the religion and not teaching them good moral behavior. That's a very simplistic statement but basically is what I believe is the root of the problem.

I just can't picure either of my son's doing that,they are so close to us. I don't understand what was going on in this kids head. If I was able to work ,that would be something I'd like to do,is get in this kids head and research the family dynamics. And to do this just because of pocket money? I don't know but I think there would be something else going on in this family. I mean geez didn't he think ahead,If I shoot me dad I will never ever again get pocket money, but hey I'll have a boyfriend and a cot and three bad meals a day! I don't know,but definitly not a good trade off to me.

When a man become mad he can commit any dam thing. What is happening else where,girls are being killed in womb, lot of women adultery. See the news paper and you will find that such woman and his paramour killed her husband as their relations have been exposed. Father is taking life a son and son is killing the father for money. This is because of our character has become adulterated and we have no human value. What do you think about it.Please discuss.

This is such a sad story. Well, i do hope this is just a story, but it's a fact, hurh? I wonder what is in his mind when he stab the man that bring him to life. Did he ever realize he is part of his father? For me, i don't think it's him that kill his father, it's the devil that he allowed into his mind that move his body to kill his father. And for that, i think he deserve a punishment.

This is absolutely absurd. What kind of a child would do this to a father? And over something as trivial as pocket money too. I can't imagine either my brother or I even laying a finger on my father, let alone killing him! There's something wrong with the world these days..
