Columbine and VA Tech Parallels?
Harris, Kiebold and Cho all were children of affluent parents--most likely too well taken care off and were "abandoned" by jet-setting parents; latch-key kids at the most extreme examples of such.





Without parental guidance to shape their moral constitution, their "wiring" crossed into chaotic haywire......and they dipped into a deep murderous depression, fueled by anger.

Harris was not merely a troubled kid, the psychiatrists say, he was a psychopath. they say that it was better for eric to have died in the columbine, or else he would have gotton worser in his adult life. becoming a serial killer.





In popular usage, almost any crazy killer is a "psychopath." But in psychiatry, it's a very specific mental condition that rarely involves killing, or even psychosis. "Psychopaths are not disoriented or out of touch with reality, nor do they experience the delusions, hallucinations, or intense subjective distress that characterize most other mental
