It is so sad when things like this happen. Especially when it is preventable if someone just paid some attention to these kids in a positive way.

Goth isn't to blame, video games aren't to blame. Are they contributing factors? Most likely but something already had to be wrong for them to be factors.

I really like what Catty1 had to say. The only way to prevent these tragedies is to pay attention and I mean really pay attention to those we share our lives with, friends, family, children, classmates. It is better to be wrong and look silly than to miss it and have this happen.

I would say sometimes its the parents to blame.

It is horrible. Very sad for the victims.

I do not understand how a 'parent', especially one whose child lives at home (as I think the reports said) cannot recognize the signs that I think must be present in someone like this.

I dont think it was because of video games or the fact that he was "goth" he probly had some mental issues and the video games triggered him to do such things. Vampire freaks is in a way a good site , people post on there that they are going to do these things and then someone sees it and they get help.
