“LOL, I grew up in the 40’s, if they arrested every kid that drew stick figures with guns, they’d have to build more jails than Levittown houses.”
Boys were allowed to be boys and men were allowed to be men back then. Our Socialized country criminalizes masculine behavior now.
Yes, and often stigmatizes them with mental health referrals for utterly normal boy behavior. Once he's assigned to a therapist, a lot of people become sadly incapable of distinguishing between exuberance and homicidal tendencies.
Tragically, many of these boys have no fathers or other suitable male role models to guide them. Sometimes their fathers, too, have been psychologically castrated long since.
Damfools want to alter males, they want to alter human nature. They're the true criminals here.
To those who say, "Don't talk to police," I'd suggest they add: "Don't talk to mental health professionals."
