I completely agree with you Candy. Anyone who can remeber this case although it was eight years ago should be abe to remeber exactly what it was that these "kids" did. They LURED a child away to be slaughtered. Their intentions from the beginning was to kill the little boy. These are "kids" committing premeditated murder. I personally do not believe that they can be helped. What they did to the little boy was absolutely horrific. At 10 yrs old I knew right from wrong, when I was 10 which was about roughly 12 years ago children werent running around with guns, they werent shooting teachers, classmates, relatives, they werent making hit lists, they werent bombing schools, they werent trying out wrestling moves on 2 year old cousins, etc. "Kids" are capable of a lot more then we give them credit for. Everyone wants to blame the media, video games, music lyrics, movies, etc. But why is that we had movies just as bad and no one was running out imitating them. Take for example the movie Heathers remember Heather, Heather,Heather, Veronica. Winnona Ryder and Christian Slater were killing thier fellow classmates. How many of you knew someone who tried to commit suicide, kill a friend, or bomb a school after watching that. What about the game Frogger, they will have you believe now that if a child were to play that video game they would go out on the highway and try to dodge traffic. I just believe the underling problem is that people are no longer being held accountable for thier actions. Parents dont supervise thier children, thier kids are in the basement making bombs and they dont know. I believe that parenting has a great deal to do with the problems we face today BUT that excuse only goes so far. My Abuela worked long hard hours to support me she may not have always known what I was doing but I knew that I was going to be held accountable for my actions whatever they were. Sorry for the rant but this subject makes me extremely angry.
