The past few days, the news going around is these few kids hacking another kid to death at an amusement park on Halloween night. What happened was that there were two kids (actually they are about nineteen years old) who happened to cross eyes with a group of four kids around the same age, so the group went after them with choppers, hacking one to death due to a staring incident.
In the first place, why would anyone go out with choppers? By doing that, were they not already have the intention to look for trouble?
The kid that was hacked died upon arrival in hospital. A young life gone just like that. It makes me really upset to think about this and I pity the poor parents who had to cope with the loss.
When the police caught up with the four youths who hacked the poor boy to death, one of them tried to escape, fell, hit his head and now undergoing surgery for brain damage in the hospital. Shall this be retribution?
Apparently all would be sentenced to death since they are past the age of being charged in a juvenile court. This is first degree murder. They can never argue that they have no intention because they brought choppers out and all four hacked one person. Even the defense of self-defense and provocation will not be valid. Furthermore, when they were arrested, they did not even feel remorseful.
Now five kids would die. Due to what? Just because they were not happy at being looked at? Five sets of parents are going to be heartbroken.
Which makes me wonder, what is happening to the kids nowadays? How are they being brought up now? Psychologists will say it is because their parents were violent and caned them often, hence they became like this.
That is so ridiculous! How many of us were not punished or even caned by our parents when young? Does that mean we all grow up being violent and going around being mass murderers?
In my opinion, it is precisely because the parents leave them alone to do as they please, did not punish and cane them nor supervise them in any violent games, hence they become like this.
Kids nowadays have some violent streak in them, probably due to the kind of computer games they play. Even for my own Cathechism kids, at the age of ten or eleven, some are already talking about killing those who offend them, assassinate someone, murdering someone in whatever way. I shudder to think what they will do when they grow up.
So is the upbringing at fault? I really do not know. But if the youths nowadays think they can feel belonged and empowered only by going around killing others, then I seriously worry for the younger generation.
It makes me worry for my future kids too, if I ever have any. At times no matter how we try our best to bring up the children, they may still end up doing the wrong things. Whose fault is it then, in this case?
