why r people so evil and cruel?

Question

i was just reading a report about the jamie bulger case. iwas young when it happened, but now i ahve a two year old son and i cant contemplate how anyone can do that!?

why has the world gone so screwed up? i cant get my head around it. i know everyone asks why...but they do it half-heartedly. i honestly want to know why people want to bring children up in a world were things like this happen.

im terrified to let my son out by himself. i know that at some point it has to happen, and that terrifies me.

am i the only person who thinks like this. and if not, if theres lots of us, then why isnt more happening? why are we just brushed under the carpet.

living scares me. it shouldnt be like that, i dont what to constanly be asking why.

Answer 1

Sweet kind person, I am pleased you are scared - sounds mean I know but the reason I say this is because you will teach your little one (s) to think and to becareful with the life that you love - that is self respect. You will teach them to try to guide others not as wise - that is kindness, concern and respect for other living things. Yes, 17 years ago I started to really panic when I really saw what my boy was being born into... I wasn't sure I could do well by him, he is 17 now... he is strong minded and looks after himself and friends, he will assess a situation and do the best he can in it - or ask for help..... Yours will do as they are taught too.
As for what is happening to people these days (?) nothing different then was happening 50 years ago. Sad but true. We just hear about it more ( because of the media is so much more powerful, a long time ago we did not have T.V. and not so many people could read)and more of the crazies get caught because of the way they have developed forensics. Good thing too! All you can really do is teach your kids well and fight what battles come your way - as in fight for laws and get involved in your community... Good luck to you, take care of your family and keep your chin up,( you may feel beat but never let the young ones think we have no chance . )

Answer 2

I'd say those people have psychological problems because their parents are just wierd and screwed up i.e.

"im terrified to let my son out by himself. i know that at some point it has to happen, and that terrifies me." & "living scares me"

How can a human being have a normal logical thought pattern when it is drummed into them that it is normal to sit in a room all day looking at four blank walls / the tv while listening to the rants of a raving lunatic all day! Any person brought up in those conditions will not have a normal brain pattern!

Please don't contribute to the next generation of psycopaths, not sure if you are aware but the two boys that killed Jamie Bulger were 10 years old. Both were delinquints, both their mothers thought they were angels. The link below gives the psychological profiles of the boys.

What can you do ? -
you can do little to prevent your son becoming the next James Bulger, you can do everything to stop him becoming the next Robert Thompson or Jon Venables so concentrate on that.
And never a Liverpool 38 (the witnessess who did nothing)

Answer 3

I remember the horror of that case clearly. One of the boys were sent to a place near where i live. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. Its hard to know what to do for the best. What i would say is that as a parent it is our job to make sure our children are able to grow up healthy both emotionally and physically. We have to know when its okay to let go and let our children experience what they have to to be able to deal with the outside world. Its important to remember that these cases we read about are few and far between. At some point we have to let children be children and hope by the grace of god they Will be okay. I am not religious but i do feel i have to have faith that everything will be okay. None of us know what is ahead of us. locally 2 weeks ago a 14 year old boy drowned in a river where kids have always played. There is no rhyme nor reason as to why this kind of thing happens. We just have to hope that it will never happen to our children.

Answer 4

This is what happens when prayer is taken out of school. I live in an area in Chicago where drugs, shootings and crimes run rampid. When I look out my window, I am starring at condos starting at $400,000. Being a Christian helped me understand why people are so mean. Also remember, children are having children so who are raising them-other children! Parents (not saying you) are letting their kids watch certain things on television, play violent video games and associate with the wrong kids on the block. Just know there are still kind people out there who love their children and try and help make this world a better place.

Answer 5

yes i remember that case they blamed a film for their behavour the social workers had them staying in a secluded address whilst the trial was ongoing,they gave them the latest video games machines etc
but what about the poor wee lad eh
no way did he deserve that brutal way he died
and to cap it all those little maggotts were protected from anyone knowing what they looked like when they became adults
the last i heard they had gone to live in australia
well i hope someone feeds them to the dingos
no doubt some wooly headed liberal will say they have paid their debt to society,but society was revulsed at what they did
they needed to be strung up high
mans inhumanity to man
a brutal planet indeed

Answer 6

People are not really, just misguided.

When provided with bad examples and no oversight, people act as they see others act, and movies too old for their age don't help.

The only way to live is to trust that this happens only rarely and make sure that it won't happen to you.

I am still wondering how the mom lost her 2 year old!

Answer 7

I wish i could answer that too...it's just so sad isn't it...
Trying to teach your kids the right way to go in this evil world is difficult when your constantly battling against mixed up people who try and teach them the opposite.
I was watching the news earlier and it more than often brings a tear to my eye, things seem to be getting worse with each passing year and theres not a damn thing us 'do gooders' can DO about it.... Siiiiiiighhhhhhhhhs....

Answer 8

I get very scared to let my son(my oldest is almost 12 and autistic and is mentally six--he has no safety awareness and his thought process can't grasp that) out of my sight, and he always has to be in arms reach of me when we are in the store or mall and what not. I moved to a very small town, and the crime rate is next to nothing. I am going to school to get my teaching license, after having been an accountant(office manager etc) for 7 years and a social worker for 11--I am furthering my education, to teach my son at home. It scares me to death, and I will also home school my youngest who is 9 months when it is time.

Living doesn't scare me. I live my life to the fullest--but my children and my husband are my life--so I will do what ever I have to, to protect them and keep them safe with in my power!!

ALWAYS use your gut instincts, protect your child(ren) and don't ever feel guilty for being over protective--because if you aren't protective enough---look what can happen!!!

God Bless!!

Answer 9

because we live in a society where there are no morals and values and people are so miserable with themselves and kids are doing hardcore drugs at an early age like 10 yrs old also parents aren't taking the time out to teach their kids respect and principles, because parents today are too busy or doing drugs themselves.

Answer 10

I know what you mean the world is starting to spiral out of control. It's a frightening place to live, all you can do is try and enjoy life but always be on your guard.
