Mother of teen accused of killing his father speaks out - al.com: "SILVERHILL — Ian Aitcheson's mother said that when she arrived at her ex-husband's smoldering mobile home about 2 a.m. Jan. 28, she recognized her tall, lanky, 16-year-old son at the scene. But he wasn't the son she knew, she said, and he hadn't been for weeks.

'He was so drawn back into himself. When he hugged me, it was obviously forced,' she said. 'The look in his eyes, you could tell he was on something.'

She said that he later told her that he had smoked crack cocaine the day before."
