Another tragic shooting at a school in the USA. Everyone is asking, who is to blame, who could have prevented it, what more can be done to prevent such a thing happening again, in the USA, and elsewhere.
Governments in the USA and UK cannot afford prevention or cure, they cannot afford or arrange prisons and mental health care. Yet they can afford to manufacture and sell and market guns.
Time to build prisons and mental prevention therapy. Time to tax guns to provide prisons and separate schools for troubled children.
Home schooled children should all have compulsory online classes. Why? To prove the children are alive and well and learning from a curriculum enough to pass termly tests.
Violent video games and online forums should be compelled to carry warnings. What sort? Like those on medicines
about side effects and
who should not take the medicine and
what to do and where to go to prevent harm to yourself and
Securing the item to prevent harm others
What to do if you have negative symptoms.
Articles like those in newspapers reporting crimes should try to prevent copycat crimes by ending with warnings and helplines. Just like articles on suicides end with the number of the Samaritans in the UK and worldwide equivalents.
