I noticed the libs on FOX today are all spinning the home-schooled part of this and saying it's "because they are undersocialized".... these are not my thoughts, I'm just the messenger.

Well, I do think that the thought of home schooled children being 'under-socialized', is a handy thing for many to trot out...Even if a child is under-socialized, for whatever reason, that does not explain why that child turns to violence, in my opinion...

Why a child turns to violence, needs to be explored...I suspect, that violence being used by a child to have his own way, is brought on by a myriad of reasons...I dont think that being 'under-socialized', or 'over-socialized', can explain turning to violence to solve problems...

Public schools, probably because of the ratio have a higher violence rate. The last parents that were killed by their kid had him in public school. I don't think it has anything to do with socialization and more with being taught no means no and self control.

I would like to know if either of these kids were on drugs though. We as a society are disciplining with chemicals and a high number of these kids killing, were on meds. Maybe that behavior was why they were on anti depressants. Maybe so. It's not excuseable but could we be seeing a reverse reaction though? People don't seem to want to talk about it but I think it's something that really needs to be looked in to.
