With the growing number of children committing murder, the government would have us blame violent films, video games and the media. But the breakdown of family life and society must be looked at.

These children often have abused and violent backgrounds. Authorities fail these children at every level ignoring the warning signs that could avoid catastrophe.

Some of the signs would be - an abused family history, acting withdrawn, often bullied, keen interest in weapons and cruelty to animals.

Quite often these kids with childhood disorders with go on to develop into sociopath's.

A high proportion of these kids feel they are victims, caught up in a life of frustration, anger and pain.
