Hmm...

What do you think of this story? More "It's not my fault," or is this kid really a victim of a drug that may have been rushed to market before its full effects were known? I'm kind of torn, although I'm leaning toward the former. He didn't feel suicidal; he murdered his grandparents.

There seem to be more and more stories like this, about drugs having crazy effects on kids and teens. I think young people in general seem to be far too overmedicated these days, but it's an opinion admittedly informed with more anecdotal evidence than hard facts.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw it out there for consideration...
