Much of it is from the internet and lack of parenting.

When I would see crazy stuff like this, my daughter and I would talk about it. That was what was good about having such a long commute to school each day. I had her trapped in the car so I could at least make her listen. No ear buds were allowed. And texting wasn't allowed that early because her classmates lived closer and were still getting ready.
 
When parents abdicate their parental responsibilities to the world of electronics, these are some of the results. Glad they were caught before they could attempt this attack and certainly hope they get the mental help they need. I also hope the parents loose the right and privilege to parent these children.
 
We did without many of the perks that a family with 2 working parents have, but I don't regret one minute.

I was there for every dog and pony show and was able to be the mom that could be relied on to transport the kids from after school sports, etc when others weren't available.

Life is full of tough decision.

My mom, on then other hand, had No choice but to work when we were small. She was the lone support of 4 children.

I agree.

I just wonder what has changed since I was younger?

There were single parent families all over the place when I was a kid...there was satanic heavy metal (Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, and Black Sabbath were popular when I was in high school), we had no end of drugs (although flakka, spice, and bath salts didn't exist back then...but we had PCP and methamphetamine, which I would argue--as a paramedic--are just as bad), and The Satanic Bible was freely available in both the school library and the local public library.

So...what's different today? I don't believe that I'm looking back with rose-colored glasses.
 
I believe it has to do with the fact that when I was young, teachers could reprimand children who misbehaved. Now they get sued and lose their jobs. When visiting others friends homes, we were taught that the parents were in charge and to treat them with respect. Now children are not taught to respect others. Please and thank you are rarely heard.

I guess.

No offense intended, but it still seems like a stretch to go from "please and thank you" to sacrificing your schoolmates to the dark gods and drinking their blood.

I'm totally at a loss.
 
Nothing new . Look at crimes throughout history and alot of this kind of stuff has actually been carried out . Its been 35 years since I was in school and I remember reports like this would come up from time to time . You can easily find crimes like this carried out 50 plus years ago .

It's a slippery slope. Please and thank you is the first indicator of teaching respect. That small snowball turns into an avalanche.
 
Rush Limbaugh said that he was going to catch he'll for saying it, but he was saying that it was time to be getting results of a generation of children who was raised by daycare rather than parents.

Many single parents have no choice, but many times the singleness is by choice.

Also, you have a generation of black Americans that 75%+ are born out of wedlock and there isn't a father figure.
Don't hate the messenger.

The "Question Authority" kids of my generation are now running the schools, corporations, and government.

What did you think would happen???

I believe that questioning authority can be a good thing.

Having something of a Jewish background, the phrase "I was following orders..." does not sit well with me, or work as an excuse for doing things that ones knows are wrong.

I've actually been in this situation as a paramedic, and I don't compromise on my oath or my professional ethics.

"Mental help"? I don't see a path for these two to ever rejoin society. Do you want to live next door to one of them?

There was some superb advice I was given years ago. Teach a child obedience to the parents. Then transfer that obedience to Christ, and Christ will follow them throughout their lives.

Our more local news had a bit more on that. Apparently, the girls had binge-watched a lot of horror movies. Combine that with sleep-deprivation (self-inflicted) and young impressionable minds, that also have a lot of imagination....and well....yikes!

Still, this is just mind-boggling. I suspect some of them likely watched the Columbine documentary too.

Just....wow. Can't even comprehend what's going on with the parents of these girls right now. (and I've got my own tragedy to deal with...but man, the world as I know it is basically just unraveling...) What the heck happened to everyone?
