      Plenty of these kids are already getting several servings of abuse at home. That’s why they show up with weapons. Kids just want to be noticed and acknowledged.

      Give them a safe space to grow and they’ll learn, punish and repress them and they’ll lash out.

          Those people suck because their parents suck. Violence begets violence. That includes psychological violence. If you are raised right, violence is off the table.

            There are people that will default to violence, but beating them won’t change it. Mental illness won’t go away because your parents loved you. But if they care, they’ll realize you need help and organize that.

              Mental Health issues are not what are discussed here. For twenty years now I work with people who have severe mental health issues and with children to the age of 5. With almost every client and every child I can trace back where their issues stem from. If you deal violence, you experienced violence. Nobody defaults to violence from nothing.

                I really doubt experiencing violence is the only path to becoming violent, but to be honest I don’t care enough to read into it.

      You think physically beating them will make them less likely to bring in a weapon?
