CE: Terrible, Terrible Damage...
Seriously, why do people do this? According to the latest news from Al Jazzera, a man, armed with an axe, killed 3 adults and a child as they were walking to the Kindergarten school. He also seriously wounded another child and adult in the attack. The attack was carried out in Henan province's Gongyi city, early on Wednesday morning. I sort of understand targeting adults for murder, but children? Can you imagine the many years that the child would never experience? I truly feel empathetic for the loss of the children. Just the thought of my life ending early gives me a scare.
This hasn't been the first attack either. This report is the latest in a chain of violent attacks on children and has forced Chinese officials to increase security around China's schools. Another attack includes a stabbing incident at the end of August. A female worker wielded a box cutter to slash at children, who were aged between three and four years old, belonging to migrant workers. The stabbing occurred at the Little Happiness Star nursery in an eastern suburb of Shanghai. Both of the attacks, as well as may others, were the result of having a mental health problems.
The intention for killing children is absolutely illogical. What has the child done to you? If they're being annoying, for god's sake, they're children! If they broke something of yours, then get the parents to replace it, instead of taking it out on a child. I really can't think of any reasons to kill a child. Having murderous intents on children is not normal, and they should've looked for doctor to remedy that. Hearing these sorts of news really shifts my perspective of the world and how it operates. Next time, I hope I wouldn't have to write on something this tragic. 'Til then, keep safe!
