Just seen on the news about the Madeleine sitatuion in Portugal. Seems some people feel its right to put the blame on the parents for leaving the child alone. Why is this their fault? For one thing parents do it all the time, this isnt neglect this is just giving the child a little bit of independance, even though you can still keep a good eye on them. Another thing is, is blaming them going to help the sitatuion or make them feel any better about a tragic miskate they made? I doubt it. Its bang out of order.
THE ONLY PERSON TO BLAME IS THE KIDNAPPER!
This isnt the only wrongfully placed blame though. It happens all the time. Virginia Tech massacre - video games. Columbine massacre - marilyn manson. I mean come on. We know now that Seung-Hui Cho didnt have any video games but still lets say that he did. Could a video game somehow force him to pick up a gun walk into his school and start pulling the trigger? Did Marilyn Manson show up at the Columbine boys doors and make them kill all those people?
Why does society continually attempt to scapegoat? The only people to blame are the people who commit the crimes, not their video games, not their movies and not their music.
