What The Hell Is This World Coming To?

[TWR]

Murders
Be headings
Stabbings
Peodo's

Then you have these 2 under 14s kidnapping a baby & according the the BBC New at 2 for sexual reasons, has this world gone crazy? I think it's about time the Justice system was looked at & make the punishment fit the crime.

This is nothing new, do you remember Mary Bell in 1968? She was 11 at the time

[TWR]

You have it Baldric, yes HC I do remember that but what gets me, it's still happening.

[wolf63]

For some reason it seems worse if the kidnappers/murderers are female.

This toddler was lucky.

[hc4361]

As long as people are being born, it will continue to happen, TWR.

[viv41]

Just when you think it couldn't possibly get any worse !

[ummmm]

You make it sound like it's something new.

[Islay]

Nothing new here happened in the so called golden years except with the 'peodo's' it wasn't talked about but it happened and was common!

our most notorious serial killer was born in 1946.
our most notorious child killer was born in 1938.

Gawd.....this constant dwelling on the dark side of life is SOOOOO depressing.

[viv41]

I suppose you've got a point !

[TWR]

It's life Zac, have you a family? does it not bother you?

[Zacs-Master]

No TWR it doesn't. I have a more positive outlook on life and prefer not to dwell on things I have no control over.

[EcclesCake]

Shocking actions inflicted on the innocent have been with us for centuries.

The only thing to have changed is the extent of multi media.

Apply that philosophy to answerbank then and don't let it depress you.

Re OP - perhaps some of it is because we stopped disciplining our children as we were disciplined?

[ummmm]

Are you serious, Jourdain?

[jourdain2]

Sort of... Ummmm. Not really, that's why there was a question mark. One does wonder....

[ummmm]

Some people are just born sick regardless of their upbringing. I truly don't believe whacking a child would change that.
