THE MENTAL HEALTH EXCUSE...

B.A. Psychology Editor/Publisher Central Newspapers ACCOMPLISHED WRITER/AUTHOR OF OVER 800,000 Published Columns in Canada and The United States Excuses is what is killing modern day society. The lack of morality and responsibility is something that is most evident in the decay of the relationship between the church and government. No matter your faith. The judicial system is rooted in Christian principles and teachings. The Ten commandments, the basic building block of justice. This past week, a 14 year old boy killed a woman on her front lawn. No, particular reason. He did not know this woman... Quick after this crime was reported. Some politicians wrongfuly so took the opportunity in making statements to the fact that the assailant suffered some sort of mental health. Dah... really!!! A 14 year old kills someone and you even have to make the assumption that he suffered from mental health. The question is... what went wrong in this junior criminal to go out and take the life of another. The 14 year old by law is still a child. Then, I bring to judge the parents. Yes, I believe that to many people leave children in front of computers and assume that all is well. Well, without knowing anything about this particular case. I bet my bottom dollar that this particular child spent many hours in front of a computer. Watching an array of violence in make believe worlds. This is wrong. Parents, should be held responsible for the action of their children. Mental health is not an excuse. If this child suffered from a mental health deficiency. It is the parents responsibility to assure the child mental stability. NONE of this,,, it’s OK honey to mess up. None of this anything and everything is acceptable... and as parents let’s cut the shit of parents being friends. No parents are parents. Rules are rules and standards are standards. Basic family pillars founded in fundamental Christian principles that champion civility both in the home and in society. No, more of you have the right to question. Instead, it should be that you have the right to contribute to society through rational thinking and civil action. To many punks in our society. By product of a compromised family life. Responsibility is a sacrifice that set’s the pace for development. No more boogie men under the bed. No, more fearing the unknown. A family life and structure is the key to raising civilized, productive and contributing youth. To many people out there are raising children when in fact they have yet to grow up. Compound this with foreign cultural, religious, traditions, languages... and the believe that everyone has the right to practice open social dis-obedience and or forced acceptance. We have punks running around with little or no regard for social order. As they believe that they have the right to do as they please under the guise of a false belief that is their human right. Gun, knifes are widely used in all kind of petty crime. As if the value of human life had no value. But wait, let’s blame it on ‘MENTAL HEALTH’. No. Let’s stop using this excuse as the reason to a very serious problem The reason if no discipline in the home. No, guidance. No real family structure. No, real fear in a God. No, sense of duty to family, community, society and or Nation. Let’s stop using the excuse of “MENTAL HEALTH”. Let’s take responsibility for the lives of our children. Let’ champion civility before the police knocks on your door and tell you that your child killed someone. It is our responsibility to assure that never happens. As if it does. It is on you not the child and you should bare the full extend of the law.
