We really shouldn’t let elementary students watch CSI. They’re learning the wrong lessons.
Stop using the "why won't someone think of the children!" Fear mongering. This kid is a psychopath, it wasn't caused by then watching CSI.
I didn’t, but you did. We know the kid has issues, thank you for pointing that out.
But even though my comment is a sarcastic, throw-away response to cope with the heinous news, I do have a point. How did a 12-year-old know to “fix” the crime scene?
That's just basic skills of deception. I'd say most kids figure out at some point in their youth that they can make things appear differently for their own advantage.
Be it raiding the fridge in a way their younger brother does it sometimes to get them in trouble, or even more likely, they are at some point at the receiving end of it. Hence most people dont need to be taught deception, the actual disturbing thing to me here is the calculated murderous intent.
Not a rage fit heat of the moment thing, a planned murder including the forethought of deniability. At 12 years old.
And according to you those are gained through osmosis.
🙄
Where am I saying that? Just that kids aren't usually taken aside by their parents and learn about lying and trickery. They figure that out on their own eventually, which doesn't mean they do not learn from example obviously.
Kids learn by example, and that includes lying. If parents are always honest with their kids, that's what the kids learn to do. When parents lie - either to or in front of the kids - they'll learn that as well.
