Well, the problem is they pretty much kill themselves after they commit these hanis acts, so how can we show the "no mercy"? And we dont know all the facts behind this man either, so it is hard to know how to respond or what to think.

Last I heard was that he found out his mother was planning on commiting him. And it was also said that she "donated" her time at the school to work with these children.
So that would be why she was not in any teaching or employment records.

There are so many different stories out now that it is hard to know what is true and what is just more false information.

Also I watched Dr Phil talk about this and he said that people don't "just snap" like this, they plan it in advance. And he also talked about early warning signs that are missed where intervention is possible. Well, I can believe that. The reality is if you have a challenged child and no money, you are in big trouble. Parents don't know what to do with their troubled children sometimes, they genuinely struggle.

I feel that we are not focusing on how to look for early warning signs and it leads to some of these troubled children getting to an age where they take it out on society somehow.

The problem is, we don't have all the facts yet. And we don't quite have enough knowledge to always know what to look for and find ways to address it. We "do" have to learn to pay attention to those that struggle more so this hatred doesn't keep building up as well. Some children that genuinely struggle are often poorly addressed by others.

Thanks for this!
