    We certainly live in a culture of widespread violence and cruelty. Did anyone see 20/20 last night talking about bum hunting. In one case, four teenage boys savagely beat a homeless man to death over a three hour period wherein they beat him, left, and came back again for more. When asked why they did it, one perpetrator said, "I don't know, maybe for fun". These young men had no moral or ethical basis if they couldn't stop their impulsiveness while they beat the life out of another human being "for fun".

    I'm reading a great book right now entitled "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys." I'm not going to do the authors justice with my synopsis, but essentially these two male psychologists argue that we are raising a bunch of emotionally impaird boys in a hyperviolent society. The results are increased homicides, suicides, drugs, drunk driving, and careless sex. The authors argue that we are not giving our male children the emotional and psychological tools to cope thereby impelling them to shut down and live detached workaholic lifestyles (sound familiar?), self-medicate, lash out, or engage in some other destructive behavior.

    Anyway, in order to understand this incident, Columbine, and sadly so many other incidents, I would strongly recommend this book. It is a great starting point for conversations.

      They say as of now they have no evidence or accounts that he( the 32 year old male) carried out any acts of molestation on the little amish girls, even though that is what he was feeling compelled to do. It truly seems like it was a copy cat crime, in that he saw on TV or read about how the scum in CO managed to sexually abuse his hostages.


      kmbsjbcgb,Does the book address sexual predatory behavior?

        No...this book is actually just about raising boys into decent human beings. It is great, however.
