Our granddaughter's young views are changing as she becomes more aware of current events. I may be changing too.
This is so sad. I wanted for her to keep her world views positive, longer.
She lives in a mid sized Midwest city known for warmth and hospitality.

The technology seems to change but the motivations and the like do not seem to all that much. This sounds like sociopathic kids who have followers who will do anything to belong to some group that accepts them. You would find similar groups in Imperial Rome, Hitler's Germany, Chicago with Leopold and Loeb
