Misconceptions Of Stephen Paddock

In conclusion, children are very vulnerable not only physically but mentally. The brain of children may absorb infinite quantities of information, but cannot classify whether is good or bad, useful or useless, relevant or irrational, etc. The child is exposed to either a healthy or unhealthy environment. As a society, we are very fortunate when a kid is raised in a healthy environment where values are present and rules are followed. However, if a child was raised in an environment where there was lack of values, it is more likely to have a Paddock or any other attacker hurting society at a certain point in their lives. As a matter of fact, Stephen Paddock was raised in a dysfunctional family. His father was a convicted bank robber described as psychotic and dangerous when Paddock was only 7 years old. Even when he and his siblings were told their father was dead, they grew up shame-ridden from his father´s felonies. As a society, we may assume that children that age are not affected. However, these are the misconceptions that the article talks about. Children do not fully understand what is happening, but the brain still absorbs that
Stephen Paddock was not treated on time from this negativity and now we have 59 people dead due to these “misconceptions.” How many more victims do we need before we start taking actions and treat children´s brain at an early age to ensure a good mental health
