Cops say mom was stabbed 111 times
A Wayne State faculty member was quoted in this article involving a Rochester Hills teen who murdered his mother by stabbing her 111 times. According to Dr. Beth Ann Brooks, a child psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at Wayne State University\'s School of Medicine, there are several possible explanations for the teen\'s shocking behavior, including drugs and alcohol, a feeling of being backed into a corner with no escape or resolution outside of killing or extreme emotional conflict that led to a psychotic impulse. Conflict, humiliation, embarrassment or a discovery of behavior that would disappoint a parent \"could prompt a child in a very close relationship to inflict harm on the parent,\" said Brooks, who also noted that such an outcome is rare.
