As I read through the news today, I came across an article detailing how three "bored" teenagers decided that for fun they would go out and kill someone. They wanted to see what it was like. They took another human life because they were bored.
Are you kidding me...are we seriously at a point in our society that children, yes teenagers are still children, have started killing for fun? Are we as parents really that uninvolved that we are raising "bored" murders?
As a mother I am pissed off at the parents in this situation...I am in no way saying that they could have stopped these three idiots from doing what they did, but where were they? What have they been teaching their children? What type of environment are they raising them in? I am appalled that this happened and even more appalled that children did it.
Here is the article in question:

These boys seem to already have histories with the law, they were not innocent children by any means. At the same time, at one point they were innocent. At one point they were someone's baby, someones's little boy. I can't imagine my children growing up to kill someone "for fun". I can't imagine them growing up to kill someone for any other reason than self protection.
I am saddened by this event, I am saddened that our society has fallen into such a place that things like this aren't so uncommon, I am saddened that a young man's life was cut short and three others will live the remainder of their lives trying to understand why they did what they did.
God does not intend for us to kill one another, He does not intend for us to raise children who kill "for fun". As parents it is our responsibility to raise strong, Godly children, who live moral lives. Some of you may disagree, some of you may not believe in God. I do however, and as for me and my family we will serve the Lord.
As I lay down tonight to go to bed I will pray for the young man who's life was cut short. I will pray for his parents, his girlfriend, his friends in America and Australia. I will pray that they find peace and forgiveness in their hearts. I will also pray for the three boys whose lives are so unbelievably altered now that they will never know a normal life again. Whether they go to jail for their lives or not, they will always be known as the three boys who killed an innocent man for no reason.
I will pray for their parents and their friends. I will pray for their souls that they find Christ and get right with God. I will pray that one day they can forgive themselves.
