Look up his father’s criminal record, look at the man, he has a bunch of kidnapping charges and a record that takes up two-three pages. That being said his father definitely was a felon. Shouldn’t been a gun in the house to start with, the kid diffently didn’t bring it there.

@judy How do you know the father wasn’t trying to kill him? You don’t and I don’t. If the CHILD has been abused repeatedly, he might think that was his only alternative whether right or wrong and out of pure fear…as in PTSD. You don’t know the decision of the Court either but it’s a definite that this child won’t forget this. I find that very, very sad.

There are NO good reasons to kill a parent unless that parent is trying to kill you! The Father was unarmed, and the son was too angry to make a rational decision. Unfortunately, he will now have a VERY long time to learn self-restraint and anger management!

“Jaden Simmons was booked as a juvenile, but is expected to be charged as an adult.”

Seriously!! He is 16 years old! Someone needs to fight this AND find out how much abuse he may have endured. This obviously wasn’t the first “argument” they’ve had and to lead to such violence, I feel there must be more. This child needs mental help for possible past trauma/abuse, not tried as an adult!! I’ve almost given up on our justice system.

Jaden, we are praying for you. You pray too and God will hear you. There are many people who would show you what true love is. You keep that faith and know you are loved. God bless you!

I personally know this young man AND his family. He has by far had a rough life with his parents. No. That may not justify him shooting his father, but no matter what, children are supposed to feel safe with their parents!!! And with his past trauma FROM his parents not only his dad but BOTH. He clearly couldn’t feel safe. Not for one minute do i believe that it was just an “Argument.”

Handsome young man with such a beautiful head of hair. And, such a sad demeanor. He does not look mean at all, just sad and defeated. There is a reason he did this. I hope and pray someone helps him and the others in this family. No. This does is not the way, but none of us were there. And we do not have his memories. They must be terrible. This is heartbreaking. The whole thing. And, I do not know him or anyone else in his family. The photo says a lot.

Prayers for Jaden and the family. I do not know this family but I do know that there are always at least three sides to every story. There are soooo many reasons as to why he might have taken such drastic measures including a mental health crisis. Although nearly impossible not to judge the situation immediately I am trying not to. I’m interested to see what comes out in the court records. Regardless I hope Jaden is able to get any help he needs. Also if any adults outside this home knew of abuse happening and didn’t do anything SHAME ON YOU!
See something, say something!

The witness states he did leave the room and the dad followed still being heard verbally arguing….which means he may have been cornered at that point….

What this does not say is what has been happening prior to this incident….was this really an ‘argument’ or more of ‘verbal abuse’??? What all has this child endured from his father, and with no help??? Has he fully left the house before and forced to return by law enforcement being listed as a ‘run away’?…this is a very common thing to happen….
Adults even have a snapping point after continued abuse….this is still a child, and being such hasn’t fully learned how to handle things…but honestly, no one (child or adult) should be made to repeatedly endure abuse! If he was constantly and repeatedly abused, and not receiving any help or protection, maybe this was the only way out he saw…
Before passing judgement, remember there’s usually more to a story than initially told. I hope he receives the help he needs..anyone that stands by and watches/knows abuse is going on should stand up and say something! If you’re scared to do it directly to the abuser, then please seek someone that can help.

I know friends of this child, who have witnessed years of abuse, as a survivor of years of mental, physical, and sexual abuse, I can totally see how this happened. I was a 10 yr old child and used to plot my abusers death. My abuser, taught me to shoot his gun and I did pull that same gun on him at 13 yrs old, I threatened to shoot him in his privates if he ever touched me again….He didn’t come after me again, but started on my sister, which was not found out until she started having flash backs. SO I TOTALY GET IT, you can only kick a dog so many times before it turns on you. I am 50 yrs old and this is a LIFETIME of trauma!
