Jasmin, I am going to have to disagree with you here. Many children play these violent games and watch violent movies and do not believe killing is ok. It seems more often then not children that do things like this have very hectic (and possibly violent) home lives. Nothing excuses this behavior because even if the parents are the worst in the world, social norms can also be learned in school. I was just pointing out I think the strength of parent/child relationships has a much stronger impact on how a child will act than videogames and movies. For instance many of the perpetrators of youth violence in the US come from single parent households and are often unplanned/unwanted children.
