In Georgia, a teenage girl is facing charges for the alleged murders of her mother and stepfather, even as she reportedly dedicated months to discussing their deaths on TikTok.
The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office announced that 17-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick surrendered to authorities on July 8. She is charged with the murder of her mother, Kristin Brock, 41, and her stepfather, James Brock, 45, at their residence in Carroll County, Georgia, on February 20.
According to Carroll County Communications Director Ashley Hulsey, a press conference revealed that both victims were discovered with apparent gunshot wounds on February 20. Patrick is expected to be tried as an adult and faces charges that include two counts of murder as well as two counts of aggravated assault.
“We don’t know what goes through the mind of a child who wants to harm their parents,” Hulsey said. “She’s 17. She’s kind of been out on her own. She’s lived with different family members and moved all over the place.”

“Thank you for spreading awareness,” Patrick commented one video.
“From an investigative standpoint, it would seem that it was someone who knew them. Hoping for answers, and swift justice,” one TikTok user wrote.
“Most definitely was since they knew the house,” Patrick responded.
Hulsey said the “saddest victim” in this case is the Brock’s toddler who is now parentless.
“A mother and a stepfather will never be able to raise their children and the little girl that was in the home,” Hulsey said.
The FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted with the investigation.
