I honestly don't believe that bad parenting creates mass murderers. There are just too many cases of bad parenting not doing just that.Is there a study that proves that violent video games cause murder in real life? Or do the studies merely overlook the probability that murders in real life enjoy violent video games?
Not that I'm championing such a mindless waste of time in a child's life, btw. I just fail to see a definitive conclusion being drawn between games and life.
you''re asking the wrong person, because I don't believe video games are the cause. I believe parenting is the cause.
I 100% believe that since the advent of parenting via a bottle we are seeing more and more kids who just don't care. Got a kid who won't pay attention in school? Hey instead of whipping that ass until they get the point, juts load em up on pills and call it good. Less work; then when you don't want to deal with those kids when they get home from school, just park them in front of a violent video game, hopped up on mind altering drugs and playing violent video games for hours on end? What could go wrong, am I right?
of course bad parenting in and of itself isn't causing mass murders. I just believe it is the root cause behind nearly everything a child grows up to do, and that includes committing such horrible crimes.
I would wager that if you look at every single one of these people somewhere in their lives is a parent who failed them at a critical juncture. Whether other influences helped turn them into what they are or not is irrelevant , the common factor is lack of parenting.
I don't know how old you are , but I'm 42. When I was in school , our parents believed in discipline, and the schools were an arm of that. Including a paddling if you fucked around in class. Not one kid that I am aware of was ever diagnosed with attention deficit disorder the entire time I was in school. Nope , kids that were disruptive were taken away , paddled and sent back to class. Usually that was the end of them being disruptive.
Fast forward 20 something years and there are kids in my daughters 2nd grade class who are on medication for ADHD I mean come on, they're little kids. A certain level of misbehavior is normal, and if they most beyond that, handle it, don't medicate them.
I don't know what it is with America. everyone wanting to blame this product or another rather than just putting the blame where it belongs, on parents.
Take the Sandy Hook kid for example. He didn't just wake up one day and go shoot 26 people.
Somewhere along the line, he killed a family pet, or beat up a little kid, or tortured neighborhood cats, or something similar and the mother responds by doing what? Oh telling the baby sitter not to turn his back on him. Here's an idea you lazy mom " remove the guns from the house if you know he's that dangerous"
That mom is 100% responsible for those deaths in my book.
