Kids Killing Kids.

I pity those kids both the victim and the suspects for they are both a victim of confusions of being a child and living in this kind of society. how do there parents raise them? are they not aware that there child are becoming to be a stigma to society and didn't do anything to stop it or prevent it? Its so sad that the sense of being a child was stolen for this kids. I really do hope that there are still hope for this kid to live a normal life.

Oh my thats horrible. kids these days nothing phases them. they think they are invisable. they dont understand life is a gift so why wreck it for yourself or someone else.

Yes it is getting worse and it is very scary I know if I had little Kids now they would never be out of my Sight and I would probably not even have them at a School to be honest One of the Problems is that to many Children are allowed to watch the Violent Movies today and also the Games for Computers are violent My Kids are grown up now but I still worry about them as even on a night out now they are in Danger.

That was very sad news, kids killing kids, at their age they should be spending quality times playing not killing each other. Maybe it was the result of some violent computer games and even movies that kids think it was normal to fight in violent way without knowing how tragic the result was. I really think kids should be governed and guided properly by thier parents in able not to result in this innocent crimes.

It's a symptom of so many issues. Poverty, depression, single mothers who have to work to take care of their children, absent fathers, absent positive male role models, feelings of hopelessness, "machismo", adults who don't take the time to tell the kids they're loved and special, many failing public school systems... There are so many reasons that build kids up to this point. It starts at home and in the community. We need to make sure our children feel loved and are held responsible for their actions from the time they are very little. Sometimes it takes tough love and a lot of discipline, but we can't expect these children to make proper choices when parents are leaving them to raise themselves. A lot of women feel they don't have a choice. They have to go to work to support their kids and there is no man there to help. That's a tough spot to be in. As communities, we need to create more resources for poor people to help take care of the children and make sure the kids have somewhere to go with responsible adults. If it's children killing children, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

First off what are they doing carrying around knives to begin with. And when incidents such as the one you told about occurs, I think that some investigation into the homes of where these children live should happen. What type of envirnment are they growing up in everyday. The type of actions that go on in a child's home will reflect their attitude as to what is acceptable and what is not. Kids will often times behave differntly outside of their home when they are not in their parents presence, but when it gets to the point of stabbing another person, then all aspects of that child's life should be looked into. I don't think that it's a matter of them being "cool", These kids need seriouse help before it's to late and they are either killed themselves by police or by someone who is dosen't care either.

Oh this is so sad, why is this happening, life has become so meaningless even to the young and they are supposed to be at the innocent stage....it is very scary.

It all has started wioth our race to eqarn few more pennies, I feel we are toobusy to give time to our kids.w e have to meet deadlines, get over to the work do overtime and to relax we just switch on tv and get lost in it. we hardly connect t our kids any more. Their lives are alos too much stressed these days what with too mjuch sylalbus and grades and being in the right greoup and stuff. we have lost the touch with the kids. I remember how safew th world seemed to be when I was a kid but now I am scared to let my kids out of my sight or to let them play alone in a near by park without supervision. For money people can do anything nowdays. Its not senseless with advances of technology and luxuries the gap between have and have nots is increasing and this leading to greed and now for money and few fashinable things people can do anything. till we close this gap crime will increase and we will have reports like these on daily basis.

It's sad, but something like this in the US papers has become commonplace. I worry about when I'll have to send my son to school since gangs and violence was always prevalent when I was in school so it's bound to get worse. I guess the UK has been lucky that it has taken this long for your youth to start acting out and they are using knives. In the US they just shoot each other. I think the acts of youth reflect the morals in today's modern society, unless we change our values as a country it will only continue to get worse.

It's clearly seen that moral values have declined! Parents play a big role in molding the children's moral values. Media also played a part in demoralizing the moral values of our youth today.

Its a real shame what the world is coming to nowadays. It makes you wonder how these children who are involved in this stuff is being raised. Now granted there are lots of kids who just turn bad no matter how much their parents teach them but then you have the parents who act like they don't care and you get kids like the ones you are talking about! Its just a shame...
