What is going on?

October 4, 2006 by Tricia

I was just watching the local news and heard about two 15 year old boys holding down a 13 year old girl, spraying her shirt with lighter fuel and setting her on fire! She’s alive but has second degree burns and she’s probably scared for life.

>That happened in Mississauga, Ontario which is just outside of Toronto. Earlier today, another incident happened in that area but this time it was Etobicoke Ontario. Two students were injured when there was shooting in or near an Adult education center. Two men are in custody over that incident.

I believe I heard about one or two students being stopped last week just before they were going to go ahead with a plan to shoot up an Edmonton school.

On September 13th a gunman walked into a Montreal college and started shooting. He injured 12 – resulting in the death of one young woman, and then he killed himself.

What’s going on?

Then there’s the recent shootings in the USA. Tragic. Unbelievable.

This morning when I got up I heard about a woman who called 911 at 6 a.m. telling the police that her children were dead. Police went to her home and found her 1 year old and her 3 year old dead. She’s been arrested and I believe charged with their murder.

What is with all of these crimes against children and students?

    I really think in the case of the school shootings some are copycats wishing to make their names in the news.

    It really is very sad, but Toronto does seem to be a bit better this year over all.

    That is just hideous.

    In WI, there were some teenaged boys who saw a girls picture in the paper after she was killed in a car accident and they “fell in love” with her. So they decided to dig up her body a couple weeks after her death and try to have sex with her. I am not kidding. This really happened. Thank God that they didn’t get her dug up before they were caught. Still, can you imagine the trauma that her family had to experience?
