[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 569137, member: 1514"] I think the media is feeding this frenzy in a maddening way. They have no clue about anything and some of them are just out to sensationalize the story. It is what sells a story. It matters not what the story is. If someone does any sort of something odd, they jump on the bandwagon to say the person must have had some sort of addiction to something or they had some form of personality disorder which they have no way of knowing because they are not even close to having ever diagnosing this person, or they listen to a few people who knew the person and try to pigeon hole the person into diagnosis they read about in the DSM. That is much like saying well she said her belly hurt so she must have had ovarian cancer. There could have been so much more going on with this boy. So much more going on with all of the people involved in every person who commits these types of things. To equate one thing is ludicrous. Could it be what they had for breakfast that day or what type of jeans they all wore. Of course not. Though the color black does seem to be a factor. I wouldnt say black means you are more likely to cause murders. The one thing that is behind all of these things in mental illnesses. It doesnt matter how people are killed, they have all had some form of mental illness and the parents could not access proper mental health care for these kids without being told the only way to do that was to have them charged with a crime. That is so wrong. So wrong. We need better programs out there. I hope this sparks the change we need. [/QUOTE]
