It never fails to amaze me how kids over in the US have access to guns and can wreak havoc in their own schools. On this occasion I actually feel sorry for the kid involved as he seemed like a "model student" and had no "issues" as such. We shall never know what drove him to shoot himself but I'd haul the parents in for questioning, that's for sure. For him to take people hostage like this is a mystery..so why aren't guns banned? Where did he get them from? Wal*Mart? http://edition.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/11/30/wisconsin.hostage/index.html?eref=rss_topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_topstories+%28RSS%3A+Top+Stories%29

I would blame to parents for not being able to make his child happy. For it he is happy with his actual life, he would not have to do such things. Eventually most of all teenagers tend to ignored their parents love, but as long as they know where to find if they need one, no such thing would have happened.

Hi, Jane! That's insane, isn't it? I would ask the parents of this kid. Most of the time it's the parent's falt. I don't know what's going on with all these US kids! What can force a person to kill others almost without a reason? Well, probably there are a lot of things. I mean, we're living in a strange horror movie - most of the people are having a lot of stress nowadays. I don't wander at all - I agree that there are many things able to make you go mad. But most of these things have nothing to do with children! That's what makes me wander. What happened to this kid? I thing it's not all about mentally retarded people all the time.

So unfortunate to read and hear about this sort of stuff daily. I truly has to do with the environment they live in. Although some families can't afford better housing and environments, I feel they need to do a bit better job in raising their children. I don't know call me crazy but I think if I had to, I and my partner need to work two jobs to get out of the crazy infestation neighbors that have higher probabilites of these sort of things happening daily. Either that or control the number of children they have.. So many components and so easy for me in the exterior to even try and place blame but if we truly research most of the situations we can truly see what the problems are.
