The only difference is your explanation that inner city kids' parents can't commit the same attention to their children relative to other demographics. So what? My point, which remains unrefuted, is children as human beings are capable of expressing negative emotions in horrifying ways. Next time you want to be self-righteous, pick a better target.", ">\n\nI'm glad your parents had the time and patience to teach you right from wrong - and that the lessons stuck (that's not always the case).\nUnfortunately, inner city parents often struggle a good bit of the day just to keep a roof over their heads and their families fed. In many cases, they don't have any time to interact with their children because they're gone working multiple part time, no benefit jobs from the time they get their kids up until they get home to put them in bed (or even after). And, kids can be crueler than a lot of adults - look it up.", ">\n\nHoly fuck what's with all the kids killing people in American recently?", ">\n\nParents not being parents and possible mental illness, it can manifest at a young age.", ">\n\nParent is a verb, as my mom use to say.\nWe've glossed over parenting as something anyone can do and doesn't require much effort - just money. Parenting is intense sh*t that requires huge amounts of skill, dedication, commitment and sacrifice - but it's not something valued at all by society.\nWhen a child murders someone - something went wrong somewhere. Maybe there were signs ignored by the parents. Maybe too permissive in what was allowed to be watched / gotten away with. Maybe refusal to see their kid needed outside help. Maybe there was abuse or neglect. Could be any one of dozens of causes or multiple causes combined that led to this tragedy.\nI'm not blaming the parents per se. But I believe that there is a solid 90% chance that with better advice, guidance and resources provided to the parents - and then excellent parenting skills used regarding this child over their upbringing - that this wouldn't have happened. \nParents are definitely human. We mess up. We fail. We don't know what we don't know. But waving hands in the air thinking that the parents choices/behaviors had no part in this is bad - same as thinking that they were 100% responsible. The truth falls inbetween.", ">\n\n\nbut why am I hearing about multiple a month or attempts a month\n\nBecause there is a 24 hour news cycle to fill and it's easier than ever for this information to fling around, and with ads paying the bills these types of stories get more attention than feel-good stories.\nViolent crime per capita is down significantly from past decades.", ">\n\nNormally, you wouldn't think of using weapons in sibling fights. This is so sad an event.", ">\n\nNothing like a desensitised child to hear about fucked up shit.", ">\n\nWe are born into a world of demons.", ">\n\nAre you stupid? A lot of people think you're stupid.", ">\n\nChildren 12 and under can not be charged with a crime in Maryland", ">\n\nSounds like we need new knife policies!" ]
