In an interview with CBS, Dr. Kathleen M. Hyde, a professor of criminology, licensed mental health

counselor, and court-appointed expert, reported that matricide, the killing of mothers by their

biological children, is a very rare event comprising

less than that of 2% of all U.S. homicides in which the victim-offender relationship is known.

Data reveals that most mothers are killed by their adult sons, and that daughters younger than 18

years are the most infrequent killers

of mothers. On average, about five parents are killed by their biological children in the

United States every week. When a loved one is murdered, the trauma and grief persists long after

the crime, arrest, and even conviction.

Murder victims' families not only have to navigate grieving a loved one in a horrific way,

but they also have to plan burials and funerals, complete overwhelming amounts of paperwork,

try to seek justice for their loved one, and learn how to navigate existing in a world they no longer recognize.
