A monster has been defined as a creature that looks human but cannot care about the pain and death it causes to human beings. Too many of our children are playing the role of monsters as they take military style weapons into schools and shoot their fellow students. The problem is that judging a child killer to be a monster or mentally ill in no way explains their actual state of mind when they pull the trigger and fire at other children. It also fails to answer how they became monsters. Moreover, how do we explain the state of mind as those of us as citizens who watch these slaughters, offer prayers and condolences and then forget the incident and do nothing to either understand or try and stop these tragedies. Are we all monsters? I will ask questions that I feel are relevant to this growing problem but wiil not be able to answer the questions I raise.
