where were the parents?

I know no details about the abuse cases. But I wonder if a traditional family structure was non-existent with most of the under-aged being abused? Because, where were the parents to protect their children?

Were children not taught about improper touching at a certain age?
Should parents be held accountable? dunno
Hello Kal,

I vote to bring back traditional family structures...otherwise, I fear what we see here today might be the tip of the iceberg.

Johnny,

There seems to be more crime, bad in this world than ever before, or we’re hearing about it more than ever before.

If these people could only take that energy they use to do bad, and use it instead to do good, they themselves would feel better, the world around them would also be better.

Those who do bad are eventually doing themselves in. Seeing those around you in peace and happiness brings one peace and happiness as well.

That is the right question to ask. Where were the parents?
I’d attribute school shootings to fame by any means necessary, an infamous gothic backlash to PR.

At the same time as society being prescribed record levels of antidepressants there is an image of happiness. So much promotion of your perfect life and at root bottom the troll is motivated by the belief that others are far more happy than they really are. The worse thing for depression is the sense that you are alone. Notorious is a sort of backlash to the anti-depressant-fuelled positivity machine, it’s marketing but not as you know it.
If you notice crimes that couldn’t make the headlines are going down. Crime isn’t a means to an end in the way someone without a tv might steal one, no, crime is the way of making a name for yourself. The other thing about the positivity middle class is that it’s evaporating from existence. You could say the younger generation aspires after the wrong things but real prospects are diminishing. Once upon a time in the west being middle class could be achieved both easily and legally and it seems that as real opportunities diminish the positivity pretense only grows stronger.

But you’re right parents are the last line of defence. Think of the look in your Mother’s eyes the next time you reach for the knife.

Generation never had it so good are not all bad. They don’t understand the pressures we are dealing with as western posterity is forced to meet the gutters of Calcutta in the middle. But don’t kill yourself or anybody else. This is a painful readjustment from first world to developing world sooner or later we’ll stop torturing ourselves when the people who rule grew up in a difficult time filled with competitors. The baby boomers every third dollar came for free has elapsed into the new reality of inherited debts.
Not that I believe there’s one answer to the problem of notoriousness but I do believe deteriorating western conditions are part of the reason.

It’s something in the way inequality has been maximised and it’s monumental effort put into appearing happier/better off than you are meeting decline. It’s promotion running out of praise-worthy things to promote in a frustrated ambition. The past has built up the expectations of the young as the future decimates our prospects. If you want the same house your dad had, you’ll have to work twice as many hours and that’s just the way it is.
I single out here because it’s social media before social media. Truly encapsulates just how much novelty-seeking has replaced family time, the emerging preference to have no human physical contact and the related desire to live virtually and at a distance. To relate to others completely by proxy until the weight of never looking someone in the eye plays a part in how we all behave. Disposable towards and estranged from other people. CS is halfway towards living in a video game.
Hello Robert,

I agree completely what you have said. I just wonder though....if the people who are doing bad, if they do not feel they are doing good? dunno Perhaps the line is becoming more and more blurred?

cheers
Hello Cat,

With a 50% divorce rate reported here, I question if any full time parents exist in some children's lives. dunno

Hello Usha....so true. With technology being in just about everyone's hands...having access to those are much easier.

I am sure you are a great parent.
