As a political body, I don't think there's any laws we can pass to prevent this. This could happen in any country.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this isn't a mental health issue. I bet it is bad parenting coming back on the parent.

The boy sounds like a true sociopath. Abused the family dog. Disabled the cameras set up to record his bad behavior. Stole the keys to the gun safe the night before. Lied to investigators that it was an accidental discharge, and then asked if his Oculus had arrived from Amazon.

Perhaps it was the mothers fault for allowing a child access to a gun? Or is everything societies fault and gun owners never have any responsibilities ?

Can't see any reason for him not to have a gun. He is 10 after all

Didn’t read the article did you?

Due to his age, the boy was allowed to remain with his family. However, the following day, the family contacted the Milwaukee Police Department with "serious concerns."

The complaint says the boy's 26-year-old sister told detectives he has had "rage issues" all of his life and "five different imaginary people that talk to him."

A therapist previously gave the boy a "concerning diagnosis" and the mother had placed cameras inside the home to watch him, according to the complaint. Two weeks prior to the woman's murder, "someone had unplugged these cameras."
…….
The complaint says a family member also alleged that the boy would pick their puppy up by the tail and "swing the puppy around until it whined and howled in pain." This occurred when the boy was allegedly four-years-old.

An aunt told detectives that the boy never cried or showed remorse following his mother's death.

Except in that country that doesn't allow any guns whatsoever.

What country was that again?

How the hell would anyone know if a 10 years old needs mental health help?

I'm positive there were signs. The guy that shot Giffords in the face finally got treatment afterwards and he can't believe what he did and is horrified by it. Mental health is a real issue that America is bad at treating. Most people aren't just possessed by evil, they have real medical issues that our society is bad at dealing with. Coupled with easy gun access and this type of thing is bound to happen.
 
Why didn't she return fire from a position of cover? Her other child could have laid down suppressing fire


Murica!

A child having access to a loaded gun and shooting his mother (deliberately or not) is almost uniquely an American problem. The mental health issues are common across the world. Access to unsecured guns isn't.
