Bad parenting, teachers, and friend circles might though.

Has no kid anywhere broken a controller in anger? And the internet isn't awash with kids screaming into a Mic what they are going to do to someone's mama!!

Good old fashioned borstal. That's what we need. Instead they'll get fluffy talking therapy, TV in their room, chocolate and other treats.

Breaking a controller isn't comparable to stabbing someone to death.

You're a broken Human Being if you're doing the latter.

It's unthinkable. My heart breaks for them.

I wonder about the killer's parents. What have they brought to this party. I think I'd like to know more about that.

There is no discipline anymore...children are becoming more and more destructive in their behaviour. We need to start making examples of these young people and make life extremely difficult for them otherwise these young people will continue to commit these unforgivable crimes. Its happening far too much and setting a 'trend'.

That's all so true. It seems like every time some unruly kid does something outrageous there's an explanation by way of some syndrome or attention deficit excuse. Things have definitely changed from when I was a kid. My kids' school has a zero tolerance policy against disruptive or abusive behaviour but still kids push the boundaries and their parents are outraged if their kids are accused of being anything but perfect. I always say my children aren't angels but I never have to be embarrassed by their behaviour or worry that they're bullying or being disruptive because they know their father and I would make sure the worst punishment would happen at home. We don't hit them... but there would be dire consequences and they know it. It feels like some people have kids them absolve themselves of all responsibility.

Would it tie in with computer games effecting young minds?


I think so. So I'm correct, yet again.
