This is just shocking AND disturbing! A 14-year-old boy has been arrested for allegedly trying to hire a friend to kill his family.

According to police, a Florida 14-year-old boy was busted on charges of soliciting murder after he “hired” a classmate to murder his entire family and stage it as a burglary gone wrong.

Port St. Lucie spokesman Sgt. Frank Sabol told the Daily News, “The defendant stated that he has had a ‘built up anger’ towards them (his family) and he wanted his family killed. He did tell me that he has thought about killing his family in the past, but was unsure how he would carry it out.”

The New York Daily News reports the suspect had been depressed and recently got in trouble for his grades. He’s being held on a charge of solicitation to commit first-degree murder and could face a total of three charges for each family member he wanted dead.
