Summary is that a 14 year old obsessed with a soap opera villain and SAW decides to create a plot similar to a villain in one of those shows would. He first kills his mom with a hammer, then sets the house on fire, saving his baby brother and dog and calling the cops acting as if it was an intruder who did it and that he was a hero for saving them. The cops later found out that he had written this entire plot out, including the fact that he'd get away and become a villain in the future, on a document on his computer (which somehow survived the fire) before he tried to delete it.

This is why exposing your kids to violence too early is bad!

What a dumbass.

Yeah... I always wonder why people like this leave crazy written shit around.

Then I just figure you only hear about the ones that do.

It's definitely a movie villain thing.
