Childcide

This is a grim topic but I want to post it cause it counters what has been going on in Kuwait with the recent childcide.

Childcide is something that mentally balanced people dont do. The thought and actions that are involved in killing your own child are to disturbing to think about. So when someone does these horrific acts we are quick to blame the person’s religion and/or their society for it, when it is really the individual that did it.

So here is an article: Mother Charged With Stabbing Son, Daughter. She stabbed her children over 200 times with multiple knives thus killing them. They dont mention her religion, nationality or social group. At the end that doesn’t matter for she is the one who did it, not her social associations. This is a sad matter and we shouldn’t find excuses by blaming people but finding out the problem that the individual was having so that this doesn’t happen again.

  1. Good point. Most of the individuals in our society are not willing to take responsibility for their own actions; hence it is normal for them to be quick to blame such incidents on any entity other than the individual.

    Yet, the framework within which a society or a religion treats the individual is an important factor that should not be ignored in any theoretical study of such cases.
