I find it hard to beiheve that a lot of these parents didn't notice any warning signs. And if they didn't notice, they were failing miserably at parenting. People don't become mass killers all of a sudden. It's years worth of pent up frustration, loneliness and rage that they csn no longer internalise until they finally snap.
For some people it can be very easy to hide how they feel. In my case, I actively *try* to show my emotions because if I don't actively try to be over the top with my emotions, friends and family say they can't read me, even people very close to me. Everyone jokes I should get into poker.
Now imagine if another person was like that, but they actively tried to HIDE their emotions. No one would ever know. Not even their parents.
I think we should jail the parents of any mass shooter. When you decide to create another person, you should be held responsible for what it does. If you cannot handle that, don’t have kids.
Let’s say I built a robot and it malfunctioned, went out and killed 10 people...pretty sure I would get life in prison. This should be no different.
We need to force people to be fearful of what their offspring might do and they need to work tirelessly to keep them under control. Nobody is putting a gun to anybody’s head to reproduce.
anti-social rants advocating violence qualify. A kids involvement with ANTIFA qualifies.
Violence used against others in school (not in defense) qualifies.
I'll go further:
Chronic lack of or absence of empathy hike others
Being socially isolated in school with no friends
Cruelty to animals
Reclusive behaviour
Angry rants on social media platforms
Preoccupation with guns or violent video games
Quick to anger
Unsbe to talk about feelings
Bad parents probably wouldn't notice these things and may be the cause of many of the issues if abuse or neglect is involved.
Is a parent supposed to monitor an adult child internet activity?
If the child is paying for it from his money-no. If the parent is-and Junior the loser is still in dad's basement, at a McJob, cut off his internet access via blocking mechanisms.
If you cannot control your children and are not willing to be held accountable, don’t have them.
There are millions of horrible parents in this country. The blood is on their hands.
Great idea, all one needs to do is time travel once they realize that despite all efforts to the contrary, little Billy is a bad egg.
