This isn't about OWs.. some of these kids have been bounced all over foster homes for years before they are adopted. Dear friends of mine adopted a 12 year old with such a history... On being told to get off the game boy and go do his homework he went upstairs and kicked the dog to death. They rushed the boy to a hospital.. he was diagnosed as homocidal.
Good gawd..... you come up w/this psychobabble after the kid had confessed.... well, you tried anyway - sad.
LOL! And this is from someone who can't think beyond name-calling and babbling about nothing ........ funny. lol.........
According to the report, they adopted this kid when he was around 5 so he didn't bounce around very long, if at all. Bet they made excuses for him, too. Where did your friends' homocidal 12 yr old go from the hospital?
I'm not a big fan of OWS but it seems to me more like the kid had psychological problems more then anything. What's worse is that many people will take a tragedy like this and try to politicize it.
Hard not to when the arguments they'd had recently were about his spending time at the OWS encampment.
In all seriousness, the same thing can be said for many of the OWS protesters. It's not uncommon for people with serious personal issues to displace and project them into politics...
I doubt it. He was probably perfectly normal before he started hanging around that OWS crowd. They are nothing but evil out to destroy our youth.
at a OWS drug and rape infested campsite. No wonder his foster parents were pissed.... Its prolly why he killed them...
The eleven year old foster child who stomped my friend's dog to death was diagnosed as homocidal... and he had NO politics.
Yeah, and as much as I dislike the group, no one has really gone off the deep end like this before. I know that the group is generally violent but I think it's questionable to say that this kid's behavior can be linked directly to OWS(although I admit that I could be wrong). I think to much is being made of this far to soon without enough evidence to really say.
Personal issues. Like I said, many of the people in the OWS movement are displacing and projecting their own personal problems into politics.
Since they were protesting in public places I have little doubt that they attracted some street people.. This kid... if you had the facts about his life .. was probably the child of a drug addicted single mother and he had likely been in and out of foster care for over a decade before he was adopted. That is the back story of the 11 year old who stomped the dog to death. Its ridiculous to blame OW.
It's pretty obvious to me that this kid had issues prior to joining the OWSniks. On the other hand, I'm not surprised to see someone like him attracted to the malcontents in the OWS movement - misery loves company...
The people saying that OWS is responsible are the same types that said Catcher in the Rye was why Mark Chapman killed John Lennon. Cons always say people are responsible for themselves... except when outside influences potentially being responsible give them some form of political advantage. Some people are born nuts.
OW is a younger group, but they share the same concerns about crony capitalism and the shrinking middle class as the Tea Party.. The young ones can't find work.. The older ones are upside down on their mortgages and spending their 401Ks.. The solution is for Congress wo get off their butts and pass tax incentives to repatriate offshore profits. Yet... YOU want to blame the young people.
The parents said they were concerned about him spending to much time w/the OWSers. When a very stable, but still easily influenced 15 yr old - and they all are - gets caught up in violence, hate & chaos, it can have a very negative effect on him. You put a 15 yr old foster kid and to many of them are damaged goods by the time they're taken away from the dysfunctional hellhole they were forced to live in - in an environment like the OWSers, where defecation is happening all over, rapes happening, damaging property, assaulting people, etc etc - don't expect anything good to come out of it.......as these adoptive parents unfortunately found out. I can't think of anything more destructive to a young person's mind....... This boy needs to be locked up and probably forever......... Sorry to hear about your friends heart-breaking problem w/their adopted son and hope there's help for him. Adoptive parents need to be told everything about the child's background b/f adoption, including mental disorders of biological family so they know what they're dealing with. Cruelty to animals is an absolute symptom of a sociopath........ I don't understand why someone didn't hear that dog howling in pain.....
There are a lot of people in the OWS movement who aren't young, and despite your attempts to confuse the two, the TEA Party and OWS couldn't be more disparate ideological movements. There's a reason the TEA Party movement hasn't endorsed Occupy Wall Street - I figure you'll grasp the implications eventually... No, I don't blame young people for being ignorant and naive, much less idealistic, even when the idealism is misplaced. Who I do blame are the Socialists who have filled their young skulls of mush with their bad ideas and policies - those are the people who are wrecking America, not the kids who are growing up in the wreckage...
How is it that you know this kid was "absolutely stable"????? The adoption wasn't complete.. His mother took him back briefly before she crashed out on meth again.. another foster home and now he's in a group home.
In some cities in the Mid West they have protested together. They have the same issues. Wanting good jobs in America is now called 'socialism"... How funny.. You can't have a Democracy without a middle class.
