I'm sure many of you know about this...
There's a 6 year old in the States that KNOWINGLY took a gun to school, he knew what he was doing as he planned it from the start, putting the weapon in his bag and making his way to school to finish of him taking it out and pulling the trigger.
So, here's the question; do you believe he's been groomed to use the weapon by practising with it and watching whatever films or shows there are using the same weapon?
Should he have the 'fuck him, let him rot' attitude thrown at him or should he viewed through lens of a child making rash decisions?
There are 8 to 10 year olds taking knives with them and stabbing victims, fully intent on causing harm. There are 11 to 13 year olds making some seriously dumb decisions in life that lead to them becoming sexually active/ parents before the regulated law allows.
I watched my 13 year make decisions tonight based on rash decisions and he had a sit down protest in a temper, but when his moment of madness clears, he'll see his error.
Children make really dumb decisions they think is fine at the time and come to regret it, later.
