I do not know what is going on in the world today but it scares me when our children are now getting involved in horrendous acts of violence. I was just hoping the hcild pulled the trigger by mistake not deliberately knowng full well what he was doing.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433954744245935857.post-43440871136217776572008-12-03T08:41:00.000+08:002008-12-03T08:41:00.000+08:00I believe it's an obligation to any parents (fathe...I believe it's an obligation to any parents (father and mother) to educate their children based on moral/religion value. Violence must not take into account in that process. How come the father teach the boy about the violence by spanking him when he can do it in more persuasive way. I know that the education for your children must be done in a hard way especially in the world like this now. But pysical contact should be kept at minimum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433954744245935857.post-23021622831494808312008-12-03T06:49:00.000+08:002008-12-03T06:49:00.000+08:00sa buong pagkabata ko mga 2 or 3 times lang ako na...sa buong pagkabata ko mga 2 or 3 times lang ako napalo ng Papa ko although he was very strict. There was really no need for him to spank us because you'd feel his authority kaya di ka na gagawa ng kabulastugan. He was also always awya most of the years we were growing up, he worked abroad and for some years in Metro Manila while we stayed at Mindanao. But I grew up to be a rebellious boy and I disappointed my parents but was able to redeem my self before evrything was ruined. <BR/><BR/>This shooting incident did not really surprise me, the 8 year old boy did it because he was made to do it by his father. Most of those kids who end up becoming killers at a young age are mostly kids who are bullied. In this case the bully was his father. We all know about those shooting spree in schools that pop up in the news every once in a while.

Yes, I heard them from the TV. But I didn't follow the TV show. What's stuck on my mind is my parents shouting at me, saying those #$@%$##&$@ words (both tagalog and chinese bad words).<BR/><BR/>A little fault (it's not a fault, it's a little accident like I accidentally bumped on my glass of water and it fell down on the floor)... I get all of those $%$%#$% words.<BR/><BR/>So what did I do? As a little kid, I also tell them the f*ck word. I also swear them, infront of them. Yes, I have a dirty little mouth when I was a little kid, all because of my parents.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the 8 year old little guy saw his father cleaning the gun. Maybe his parents didn't told him to not play and not use the gun, as God don't want little kids to play with it. <BR/><BR/>I believe everything starts at home, not on TV, not on the environment. It's on how the parents would treat and handle their child in times of not-so-good situation, and in not-so-good environment.<BR/><BR/>=p just my opinion based on my experience.Marilou / Lucky Cow Shophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520631533363113511noreply@blogger.com
