Two teenage boys watched a mentally challenged man walk into a lake and proceed to drown, while they recorded it and then posted on social media.
The public wants to know how teenagers can be this cruel. I'm wondering why it doesn't happen more.
These kids today...lack a serious sense of empathy. Not just these kids but...kids in general. It's true that they didn't need to help the guy, but to slowly watch a man gulp in water as he slowly died...is hard for people who know what suffering must feel like. For teens, it seems there is an element of empathy that is missing. Do I blame the parents? Sort of. Assuming that both parties have contributed to their lives. Truth is, either way, they are of a DNA that probably lacks it. In a sense, these are monsters unless they learn to realize that what they did was ethically wrong. But the harsh reality is, you can't punish assholes. To justify this action, they weren't required to save the man. Nor call for help. But human to human...it's a contract I hope our fellow man would abide by. Which is why government introduces so many new laws. It's because we have assholes that would constantly prove to them they need to govern everything.
These teens will be punished later in life, if they haven't already. I would hope their parents would sit them down and discuss why what they did wasn't the right thing to do (or in this, what they DIDN'T do). For the sake of our society.
