    Plenty of these kids are already getting several servings of abuse at home. That’s why they show up with weapons. Kids just want to be noticed and acknowledged.

    Give them a safe space to grow and they’ll learn, punish and repress them and they’ll lash out.

      Actually when they’ve interveiwed school shooters and such they have found the opposite to be true, these kids come from very permissive homes where the parents never raised a hand to them no matter what they did wrong. Like Ethan Crumbley’s parents who let him get away with anything and always looked the other way no matter how many animals he “experimented” on.

      Kids need discipline and sometimes physical punishment is the only sure way to get their attention and make them see that their actions do have terrible consequences.

      I agree and disagree at same time, some will learn that way, others only know harsher methods imo. In reality some people really just fuckin suck & can’t be helped

        Those people suck because their parents suck. Violence begets violence. That includes psychological violence. If you are raised right, violence is off the table.

          There are people that will default to violence, but beating them won’t change it. Mental illness won’t go away because your parents loved you. But if they care, they’ll realize you need help and organize that.

            Mental Health issues are not what are discussed here. For twenty years now I work with people who have severe mental health issues and with children to the age of 5. With almost every client and every child I can trace back where their issues stem from. If you deal violence, you experienced violence. Nobody defaults to violence from nothing.

              I really doubt experiencing violence is the only path to becoming violent, but to be honest I don’t care enough to read into it.

          Their parents suck because they DON’T do enough to punish and reign in their kids. They are so afraid to raise a hand to their kids, and the kids know they can get away with murder. Raising kids right includes physical punishment when they threaten others or misbehave deliberately. Take it from a boomer who saw that benefits of such punishment, versus how the lack of them these days has turned the world into a cesspool full of self-important miscreants carrying weapons around because they are weaklings.
