    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.
