    I wonder if there have been any studies as to there being a mental health issue with people like Jared. I only know what I know and have learned enough life lessons to be very careful to judge anyone other than myself, but the mob effect and actual hate in these situations is, to me, sometimes scarier than the 'villain' in question. And I'm not a hippy pacifist or anything.

    I'm not excusing these people for their actions but simply thinking that I don't know what led them there. Some men have sexual or pornography addictions which can (and do) destroy families and any children involved. Alcoholics have a sickness that for whatever reason is more socially acceptable even when it leads to the unfortunate death of others, again, children included.

    With any of these people we don't know how they got to the situations they are in. Maybe something similar happened to them during their childhood which is ironic because then we would have been thinking of the poor child in that situation with no mind of what would become of them later in life.

    Not at all trying to be preachy here. This type of hatred has always existed and always will, particularly for those who only care to see the surface of issues, no matter what I say. I'm not better than anyone else but I can say changing my perspective on people in life and remembering that I don't know what they've been through has actually made me a lot happier in my own life. Sometimes it's nice every now and then to relieve yourself of the burden of worrying about everyone else's issues and take care of your own. :)
