Expert: Zoloft spurred boy to murder his grandparents with shotgun - Courttv.com - Trials
Of course it was the Zoloft! The first article I read on this issue asked whether it was the Zoloft and Paxil this kid was on, or that he was "already violent" because he had stabbed a bull with a dart when he was a child.
Stabbed a bull with a dart?
Well on that basis, what boy is not a candidate for shotgunning his family? I just did an informal survey of some others in the office and even the girls had some heinous crime against the animal world to confess. One of them (the girl) admitted to feeding seagulls alka-seltzer because they can't burp and so they...well, you do the math.
It was the drugs folks. Every one of these wanton acts of violence has that in common, from Columbine to this shotgunning case. They were either on drugs or seeing a psychiatrist.
This soapbox is really for talking about things we've done with our kids that have worked and helped us as parents and them as kids. But I just can't sit by without a comment on this Zoloft issue.
