The article makes it sound like the kid just said no to cleaning his room...but in what ways was he being told....
yelling? threateningly? Physically dragged to the room?

Most of us have watched shows like "Cops" where the "innocent" perpetrator soft pedals his involvement in the situation.

If the kid was a holy terror, leaving access to a gun would seem counter intuitive.
