Kids Who Kill (Parricide Cases) | 11-Year-Old Clayton Dietz, Nick Reiner & More

Timestamp to skip the intro: (8:28)

In some countries, parricide - the killing of a parent by a child - accounts for up to 5% of all homicides.

• In January 2026, Clayton Dietz (11) allegedly killed his father Douglas after his Nintendo Switch was taken away from him.
• In December 2025, Nevada man Adrian Bailey called 911 and confessed to killing both of his parents with a child-sized baseball bat.
• Carrie Zetel was allegedly murdered with a rock by her mentally ill daughter Lauren in October 2025. Carrie had voiced suspicions that Lauren was also responsible for the death of her father in 2018.
• After attending Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party in December 2025, Nick Reiner - the son of esteemed Hollywood actor/director Rob Reiner - allegedly took the lives of his father, and his mother Michele.
