WHOSE GONNA HELP?

Sunday eveing as i got in the house my mum was watching the news, now i do not normally watch the news cause its a contant reminder of how wrong the whole world is but today i had to. One of the head line story shocked me to my feets so bad all i caould do was sit down so as not to fall. An 11yr old boy had gone on a killing spree decapitating all his family members...the reason fo rhis bucthery is still unknow but one hass to wonder what would drive a child to this.
People would say its the work of the devil, but is it really? ok so maybe its is? But if you ask me the devil is not santan... frankly its his parent, his neaighbors, all the adults around tthat abused and fustrated his life. No im not defending him but come on... how do you suppose such a child could know abouyt picking up a cutlass and taking it to his family?
Let me give a scenario...
Rom the sweet comfort of the womb a child is expelled inot this cold and hard world to a family of 14, The father. mother 1 and her 4 girls, Mother 2 and her 5 girls , Mother 3 and her own girl as well... Now as the only boy and heir of the family he is favoured by daddy but loathed by mother 1,2 and sisters 1-10. They all abuse...he is forced to tak up roll as man of the house at such a young age of 3 he's hawkin graoundnut for his family to eat... if he returns with some groundnut still omn his tray odds are he'll probably not have any dinner that night.
NB because he is the only son he is the only on to go to school as well. This insite more hatred from his siblings and thus the on a wimp beat the living daylight out of him.
5yrs old now he meets Elo, who's 13 and has been running with the the friendly neighorhood agberos(touts) since he was 6, Elo introduces himto his friends the ageros, and their daily discussion is of theft, murdering, raping drinkin, smoking and God know what else...

The child feels he's one with these people and thinks the world of them, he'd chop of his family if asked... and so he does... but not cos he was asked...but cos he was fustrated....they pushed him to the wall...he had warned them... htey diod not listen...he needed to breath...the were crowding....he wants out...Now...NOw...NOW! the cutlass comes out he strikes out in ragfe he chops theire head........ where were the neighbors? where were u?
