Rage in young people

I listened to the news report today that described the horrific events the unfolded at Virginia Tech.  There are no words to describe something so horrific.  I’m left wondering what brings about this kind of a rage in a person. 

I don’t know anything about the family of the gunman so I will not judge.  What I do know though is that killers very often have had a very troubled childhood.  It reminds all of us who are parents what a profound impact we have on the future of our children. Whatever happens during childhood; both good and bad we bring with us into our adulthood. If we as parents make a drastic mistake, we can’t go back.  We only get one chance at raising a child. 

Whatever caused this man to do what he did? What kind of childhood did he have?  Did he feel unloved? Did he feel rejected?  Perhaps we’ll never know.
