Why do kids kill?

Most children kill due to sociopathy. Their upbringing– parents who raise them with guns, parents in prison, and otherwise also reflect on their actions. It’s also been said that children born by people with violent disposition take that up as well, even when the parent is not in their lives. And the community definitely has something to do with that. If you’re in a place with a high murder rate/gang activity, children committing crimes in general, nonetheless murder, will go up.

I agree with what Swindler stated one hundred percent. In areas where killing and violence isn’t common in the beginning though, we have the media manly to blame. Kids that are raised in nice peaceful towns are starting to become more violent due to video games they play, and movies they see. Its starting to be perceived by younger people that kill is okay. If you would like to look at is as the parents faults once again it is, if they didn’t allow their children to watch such graphic shows, and play this games then people would start to produce things with less violence.

it is not the kids fault…because kids are not that mature and knowledgable to seperate right from wrong it’s like that quote that says WHEN YOU SHOW THE MOON TO A KID HE SEES ONLY YOUR FINGER… kids are Interested in killing and gun etc… because: 1- it depends on what the kid is watching in T.V or cartoon everyday in life 2- it depends on the community … kids like to kill because they think they become such a hero …for instance kids especially boys are having these toys such as gun… what they see in their life they try to do it…

No one really knows the true answer. Only the killer knows.

Usually it’s how they were raised and/or a mental disorder,such as psychopathy.

I am a psychopath,however,but I don’t kill humans.

Maybe the child killer was angry at someone or something,and promised to get revenge. So they kill any f*er that gets in their way. Like Jason Voorhees,for example.

Do you know that saying people are the product of their environment…

Well…this applies to kids brought up in very violent neighbourhoods which can be gang related or from abusive repressed family…some kids are affected by the internet and violent television programes their obssesed with…also with the friends they associate themselves with…the books they read… even the games they play…sometimes they were raised in war zones and taught pycologicaly to think of themselves as soldiers and one of the biggest mistakes people make of child soldiers are that they think like kids..guaranteed to have your head blown off on the spot…

What I am trying to say is kids are in a extremely labil emotional state and they are very receptive towards their environment.What happens to them in their child years and how they react to it is likely going to shape the course of their lives as an adult.For better or for worse.

It’s easy for someone to read the newspaper and say that kids violent and his a monster but if you put yourself in his shoes and see the life he’s been through you can understand the flow of thoughts which resulted in him commiting such horrific acts.Don’t make him right though.So I wouldn’t say it is NOT his fault but we as a community or as a parent could have done something to prevent that.

Preventing something from happening is always better than fixing it after the damage is done.

If we did our best and the kid still killed someone well it’s NOT our fault then.

When xxpsycopathxx said only the killer knows the true answer why he or she kills it’s true.Every killer has a reason or a motive and there’s no such thing as random killings.Might seem random and pointless death to you but not to the killer.Inside his head it’s all rational and justified for.The very act of killing someone brings something to the killer maybe revenge maybe anger maybe to the world maybe exclusively to you.The killer always knows. And it’s for the killer to know and you to find out.
