..and thank you, CarolC. What do you think happened to the parenting in this country, that would cause 'children' to pick up guns, and become 'predators'?..as your post indicates.

Why do you think, at this time in our history, has this become so prevalent?...(in 25 words or less)

T.V.?, Movies?,....or children left alone to be raised by their 'street peers'?.....I think we 'discussed' this problem before, remember??

And, I am not 'badgering' you, with this post. Rather, trying to point out, and underline, again, that NO ONE can replace the bonding between parents and children, while the BOTH parents run out from the home, to pursue careers, at the expense of their much needed presence, in the home, when they have younger children.....

Thank you, once again, for your post!
