In EVERYONE of these cases these kids are on some sort of psychiatric
drugs!! We NEED to wake up where these drugs are concerned. The kid is hyperactive and he is placed on drugs, a little shy or withdrawn and they
are placed on drugs! I do not recall ANY kids in my generation being
diagnosed with these sort of problems and placed on these drugs! What
the heck is going on!
The factors can be myriad.
Medication can mask conditions that would in earlier days have resulted in sending someone to an asylum. Treat it well enough not to look obviously ugly, but not enough to stave off the danger.
Anyhow, as tragic and sickening as this is, it’s even more tragic and sickening that they’re now putting the whole bleepin’ state of Connecticut in a rubber room in response. If schools really are seeing more assaults, then guard them better. That used to be common sense.
