Just so tragic, I would hate to be in the fathers shoes right now.
The way 'unwell' people dissolve into the system, and effectively become non-persons until something tragic like this strikes is perhaps something society can learn from.
Not just American society, but all societies around the world.
Preventions better than cure.
Interesting article and the mother/author obviously doesn't know what to do either. She seems to waste so much time arguing with this boy and getting nowhere aside from enraging him more. Some of these parents need to be taught techniques to calm the child down. Engaging in conflict has the opposite effect.boxy wrote:A narcissistic society, more enamoured with individualism, than worrying about building a healthy society, that supports those who can't cope on their own? Because, seriously, it's not a one off issue, that you can blame on a bad parent. This. keeps. happening.
No one wants to send a 13-year old genius who loves Harry Potter and his snuggle animal collection to jail. But our society, with its stigma on mental illness and its broken healthcare system, does not provide us with other options. Then another tortured soul shoots up a fast food restaurant. A mall. A kindergarten classroom. And we wring our hands and say, “Something must be done.”
According to Mother Jones, since 1982, 61 mass murders involving firearms have occurred throughout the country. (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/201 ... otings-map" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). Of these, 43 of the killers were white males, and only one was a woman. Mother Jones focused on whether the killers obtained their guns legally (most did). But this highly visible sign of mental illness should lead us to consider how many people in the U.S. live in fear, like I do.

Talk about a clichéfest. And they all just kept on keeping on, ignoring the (seeming) "inevitable"?
Fuck that. Put them in a funny farm with their equally fucked up mothers and the other fucked up shitheads. Why do we have to wait for them (cue Bryant) to murder many before we act. The mothers of these fuckers know all too well what criminal acts they are capable of, shit, they are even victim of it. They bleat about it after their little turds kill, and seek sympathy. Fuck you mother. Have your lunatic kid put away before he kills others because you have kept him hidden. In the real world, we put arseholes away, and mothers, your arsehole kids should not be exempt.Intervention should begin as soon as these children start school.
Presidents only get two terms over there, he won’t lose the next election because he won’t fucking run! Don’t you have a baby to look after, lunatic?Just awful, far too many school shootings in America, something has to change for the better.
How about Obama gets his finger out and implements new gun legislation?
Ok, it wont be well received, in fact, he will without a doubt lose the next election but hey...at least he will retire with the right kinda bang, this and be forever known as the president who thought enough about the kids to sacrifice his own presidency.
That's the point... sheeple know what to say when the media sticks a camera in their face, if they want to get the their head on the box.mellie wrote:Cliché perhaps, but sadly, all too familiar.boxy wrote:God, that last link stinks so heavily of 20-20 hindsight, mel

I agree with you because ultimately many of these children only get worse when they hit puberty, but we don't have funny farms for 5 year olds. I think it was Carr who abolished mental asylums in NSW - or perhaps it was whoever was before him, but it's been a huge mistake. I don't know what the other states do about this problem. It seems it's the male who can't be controlled.Grendel wrote:Fuck that. Put them in a funny farm with their equally fucked up mothers and the other fucked up shitheads.

You hide and protect them, and when they bust loose you want sympathy.
Fuck yaz!
