Does anybody else think it was a little uncalled for?

Yes, it seems very insensitive. After all, these parents just lost a son, the same as the other parents whose children were killed. And I am certain that his parents will live for the rest of their life with the burden of knowing their son's actions and wondering if there was a way they could have reached out and helped him before this point. I don't know anything about them or about this boy's childhood, but if they're decent people, they may even be experiencing a deeper grief than the other families - since after all, not only are they dealing with the loss of their own child, but probably somewhat blaming themselves for the other murders he committed. I hope people will keep this in mind in the upcoming days and keep this family in their thoughts and prayers, as well...
