copy cat syndrome

Quote From: sassy15351

Yes, absolutely!  I am petrified!  I am currently a teacher, with a young child at home and I'm afraid of what may happen from day to day!  Schools, all schools, need to have security to make everyone feel safe.  No drills will ward off a predator, once they are in, they are in and you don't know what will happen at that time.  Another thing that bothers me is the copycat syndrome that we have going on across the country.  The more and more people hear about what's going on, the more ideas they have.  I mean, don't we have enough crisis going on with the Alqaeida (can't spell it)...why should we have to worry about our own as Americans?
I agree with you- the ‘copy cat syndrome’ is a threat to our society. It is so scary. I know that our media has to report these terrible things that happen in our society; but sometimes, it is done in a glamorous fashion, or rather, it is seen by some as a glamorous fashion, and it scares me to death. I wish that it didn’t have to be headline news. I’m not saying that I don’t want to know what is going on in the world, because I do want to know- all I’m saying is that there are sick people watching it, too, and if they already have it in their minds that they want to violate children, they see this as a glamorous way to go out of the world. So sick.
