Maybe I missed it, but I haven’t heard or read anything about Kyle’s family reacting to all that has happened in the last week. He’s still a minor. I would have expected interviews with his parents.
His parents have probably retained their own legal counsel and will not say anything. Since the kid is a minor they may have exposure to civil lawsuits in this whole fiasco.
I believe Lin Wood may have something to do with that. It may be that he's hoping the press hangs themselves for a large defamation payout.

The “media frenzy rumor mill” is in full swing to discredit Kyle, Rittenhouse, his family & his lawyers. I would urge caution before believing any rumors or accusations of wrongdoing. They may even attack & falsely accuse me. I am protected by truth. This is not my first rodeo.
At this time, I will not publicly address private facts about Kyle Rittenhouse or his family beyond telling you that is a fine young boy blessed with a good family. Take media rumors & accusations with a grain of salt. In time, lies are always revealed when truth is disclosed.
What we know so far
He was living with his single mom
“It was Rittenhouse’s own local Police Department that arrested him around 5 a.m. Wednesday in Antioch, where he lives in an apartment complex with his mother. He was taken into custody as a fugitive from justice, wanted for first-degree intentional homicide in Kenosha”
“He is being held at a Lake County juvenile detention facility pending a hearing on his potential extradition to Wisconsin, according to the sheriff’s office.”
“In January 2017, his mother sought an order of protection, accusing one of Rittenhouse’s classmates of bullying her son with taunts of being “dumb” and “stupid,” as well as threatening to hurt him.”
“Last week, Rittenhouse received a speeding ticket and a citation for driving without a license in Kenosha”
