World of confusion

There must be an answer why killers are among the young.

The most brilliant and educated scholars cannot agree on an answer.

We must consider that children are introduced into a world of confusion, such as same-sex marriage. Although murder is illegal, it is acceptable if the person is in the womb. Violence and immorality via TV and movies cause more confusion, as does the drug culture. Virginity is ridiculed.

A child's world is uprooted when parents divorce -- loyalty and love must be divided.
