I have recently noted young children who are unnecessarily mean.. They play too rough with smaller or younger children, they kick and punch them, they throw things too hard, and there is no adult intervention. And I think, "This is how it begins."
Are these young bullies already on the road to destruction? Can something be done to divert their path? Or can I just shoot them now before they destroy other lives? Just kidding about the shooting part, of course, but what can be done to change the course of their future?
How do you prepare yourself for the unexpected? Two days ago I had an Active Shooter Training at the school I work at. Then yesterday I read the 10th volume in Robert Keller's Killer Kids series. I paid special attention to the stories that involved a school shooting. The training I had was right on point regarding many of the factors that lead to a younger child or teen committing murder at their school. Also what I noticed was that those same factors that create the feelings of anger, alienation, frustration, lack of control, and bullying are a cauldron for violence. Sometimes a bullied student targets smaller / younger children to kill. This volume had mostly crimes I hadn't heard about and gave the reader enough detail in case you wanted to research the crime further. It's so sad that these teens and children felt they had no other choice except violence to respond to their problems.
These books are all fascinating. This series has been a favorite of mine lately. It’s perfect for when I don’t have a lot of time to read or when my attention span is feeling shorter than usual. The books are on the shorter side, and they consist of several shorter true-crime stories. It’s always interesting to see sentencing can vary. And it’s sad to see crimes that could have been prevented and lives that could have been saved. Sometimes, the system fails.
Definitely a must read for the true crime enthusiast. Robert Keller really does have the knack of holding his reader's attention. Each and every case presented in this book is mind blowing, just to think how these children could conceive of doing these murders, much less actually do them.
I’m not sure why I read this type of books other than boredom satisfaction. I cannot believe what some of these kids did. Growing up my son had one or two of his “friends “ that wouldn’t surprise me if they did some of the minor things. I thank God he made it to adulthood unscathed.
The individual stories were short and consider? Giving you the whole story in a no nonsense format. Not sure I would have had kids if I had read this first.
Robert Keller never disappoints when concisely getting to the facts of the case. He reads effortlessly and is enjoyable every step of the way. I eagerly await any new work by him.
