Very good and logical post.
In the past three months, we have had three incidents like this. There was that adopted boy in the Midwest and his friend who shot the boy's parents and killed them i cold blood. They attended a private Lutheran school.
Then there was the kid in California who brutally murdered the lawyer's wife. He was a public school kid.
Now this. The boy happens to be a homeschooler.
There are good kids and bad kids in all religions and all environments.
What we need to address is the immediate resort to violence in these yopung people. Get to the cause of it and try to work from there.
The internet was heavily used by all these murderous teens. All of them had "Goth" leanings.
I think what you say here is very important...get to the root cause of an immediate resort to violence...my hubby and I were just talking about this today...
When we were growing up, you had a crush on someone, your parents did not approve, you were not allowed to date that particular person, and if todays teens are anything like I was, you think your world is going to end if you cannot date that person...but you got over it, in my day, long ago as that was...we respected what our parents expected of us, and even if we did not like it in the short run, I think we realize that in the long run, we knew our parents had our best interests at heart...the thought of becoming violent and bent on murder, just never entered our minds...
So, what exactly is the root problem here?...I suspect, its a myriad of things...
