Homicidal Kids Killing Parents, Sociopaths?

I need to find as many cases as possible of children, teenagers, and
young adults murdering their parents because the parents wouldn't let
them get away with everything--especially those who imposed discipline
not at all or only too late. I remember a lot of cases but only a few
names.

A well-known case is of the author Anne Perry. She had an obsessive
relationship with a friend and one of their mothers interfered with it,
so they killed her with a rock in a sock as a weapon. It was made into
a film titled "Heavenly Creatures."

I read of a very similar case in a magazine. The girl was 16 but very
immature for her age. She dressed as a boy and asked for, and
received, a train set for Christmas. Her father never disciplined her.
It was said, "he'd draw a line, she'd cross it, and he'd draw another
line." She had an obsessive relationship with a friend her mother
didn't like, so she shot her mother in the head.

There was a famous case in the '50s of a girl and her boyfriend who
killed the girl's parents and little sister. At the time, the girl did
jail time; now she's seen as more of another victim of the boyfriend
and his influence. There was a very similar case within the last
several months. I don't know what they're doing with the girl, who was
about 14. The guy was 18 or 19 and is in serious trouble!

There was a case some years ago of a couple of teenagers who killed
their dad because he wouldn't let them do everything they wanted. They
ran up a big credit card bill and the father's body was found right in
the laundry room of the house--they hadn't even bothered to hide it!
In another case, a boy only about 14 killed his mom in the kitchen.
They were supposed to be stapling programs for some event, and he sat
right there at the kitchen table with his dead mom and stapled the rest
of the programs. When someone showed up to collect the programs and
asked why he killed his mom, he said, "She made me mad."

There was a soap-opera actor, I believe his name was Thom Bierdz (sp?)
whose brother (Erik?) killed their mother with a baseball bat and
called up "confessing" under his brother's name to blame the actor
brother!

Of course there are the well-known cases of Richard and Deborah Jahnke
(this was a movie) and Herman and Druie Dutton, who suffered such
serious abuse even family members believed they were right to end it by
shooting their father in ambush (the Jahnkes in the garage, the Duttons
as he slept.) There is even some sympathy for Erik and Lyle Menendez,
who claimed similar abuse and tried to blame the shootings of their
parents on an intruder.

There are a LOT of other cases--I know I heard of one within the last
few years of a group of teenage boys on the Washington coast killing
one of the boys' mothers. There was also one on one of those national
news-exposé programs of a boy who was on some presidential student
honors program. Fatally shot his mother and seriously wounded his
father. He and his father were trying to claim he suffered
schizophrenia. He had written letters to his girlfriend showing an
understanding of his crime, no remorse for it, and bragging he was
going to "walk." There was another case of 10-year-old twin boys in
the midwest someplace? They shot and killed their father and wounded
their mother and sister because the father would not let them go
fishing. When authorities showed up, one of the boys said, "Somebody
shot our family. We didn't know who he was," and acted only interested
in some rabbits the boys kept as pets.

I'm particularly interested in cases of kids who just weren't properly
disciplined. The parents excused their every fault and ended up paying
with their lives. Unfortunately I remember some details and not too
many names and places.

Also, how do you tell a true sociopath in danger of turning homicidal
from someone who suffers only one less serious problem, such as
kleptomania, but would never actually kill anyone? I'd like to
differentiate the signs as much as possible, as soon as possible,
thanks!
