            This past week a group of third grade students in Waycross, Georgia plotted to kill their teacher and brought a bag of items used in this to their school with the intent to carry out their plan.  There was nine students total and they were only suspended.  In this bag of weapons there was a steak knife, gloves, a crystals candle holder, toy hand cuffs, tape, and a few other things.  These children aren’t being charged with anything, but are being but in some sort of juvenile correctional facility.

 

I believe that this is an example of what the children in our society are learning these days. Some of this may be due to the media and what they are expressing to all age groups.  Some of this may also be coming from the home, and raised levels of violence in the home, and world these days.  These kids are just third graders and they are plotting to kill their teacher.  It’s not like it’s a silly game of clue, this was a real life thing.  Who knows, maybe next time a kid could think to bring a bomb or something, and end up hurting more than just their teacher.  Parents should keep items like the ones found on these students, more out of reach so the child doesn’t have such easy access.  Parents want to think that their child is a perfect kid, and wouldn’t ever do anything like this.  But all it takes is for a switch to flip and a kid, or anyone to go off.  These kids are just 3rd graders, imagine the damage that has been done to them, and the help they will need to not do something like this in the future. It’s obvious that kids need more attention and help these days.  The more we neglect them, and think they’ll be alright, the more and more corrupt they become.  Something like this should be a wakeup call for the rest of the world to pay more attention.
