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.
