55To prevent mass killings, we need to do whatever it takes, including the things that might be hardest to do. The causes of mass killings must be addressed and if addressing those causes is offensive to people, that will be the price we will have to pay to solve one of our most pressing problems. Some people regard families and parenting as almost sacred. These people think that we should not look at parenting to find out what is going wrong, because that means we are blaming parents. Parenting, to them, is a private matter. However, if we are to examine all the possible sources of mass killings, we should exclude nothing from consideration. We must use the algorithm method.

56Similarly, some people do not want us to study culture. In particular, they don’t want us to study their polical and religious movements—movements that have become prominent in American culture and in the world for the last hundred years and have shaped who we have become, and religions that demand that members obediently follow a divine, unquestionable path. These movements and religions have done some good for their participants and those participants do not want critics to be snooping around. So, while participants make many claims about the benefits of these movements and religions, they are defensive about opening their doors to examiners. People involved with these movements seem to hold them as beyond reproach—similarly to the way some people hold parenting beyond reproach. In fact, it may well be that the same people who would forbid us from looking objectively at families are the ones who would forbid us from looking at political and religious movements. But in order to solve

58Healing Our Families
59.Pappas, S. (2019). “APA issues first-ever guidelines for practice with men and boys.”
59In order to heal dysfunctional families, we must get to the source of the dysfunction and revise the way our children are parented. There has been a decline of family values and a dramatic rise of social problems, as pointed out in the first chapter. Peace and unity have disappeared, replaced by societal conflict and strife. Not only do we have a rise in mass killings; we also have a rise in crime and addiction and a decline in the cohesion of families, with more than one-third of families now single-parent families. Restoring families to a place where they can once again produce healthy children will be one of the most difficult things America has ever done, more difficult than solving global warming or colonizing Mars. Indeed, we would not have to colonize Mars if we were not destroying our own planet. We need to straighten our own backyards before we look for other yards to move into. Curing families will have to happen in steps.

60Step One: Awareness. The first step is to recognize the importance of good parenting and to understand that how children turn out depends on how they are parented. In all of the case histories in this book, the mass killers suffered childhood traumas. It is almost always the case that the earliest trauma—whether it is emotional, physical or sexual abuse—has the deepest effect on development. Most everything that happens in childhood affects the personality development of the individual, but especially the earliest stuff. Raising a healthy child is perhaps the most important job anyone can have and the principles of being a good parent must be based on science, not on sentiment. It is a complicated job that requires a parent to be healthy enough and aware enough to understand children’s feelings and to know how to deal with them. Healthy parents raise healthy children by giving them the love and respect they need and by setting the boundaries they require in order to become adequately s

61Step Two: Registration and Monitoring. Scientific principles of parenting must be set up. Society needs to monitor and regulate parenting to ensure that the parenting in our culture is heathy parenting. We regulate food, medicine, and boats (all riders on boats are required to wear safety vests), but not parenting. Being a parent is not a human right. It is a responsibility that must be carefully planned. All those who want to be parents should be required to register with a government agency and be evaluated to see if they have attained a baseline of mental health. In this way, abusive or neglectful parents would be filtered out. Couples who are not firmly bonded would be filtered out. Individuals who have a severe personality disorder and those that suffer from major depression, schizophrenia or other severe disturbances would also be filtered out. Those who give birth to a child without registering with the government agency would be subject to a fine and required to give up the chi

All children by couples who have accidental births or by couples of unwanted children or by parents who do not properly register to have children, would be sent to child care centers. These centers would be group homes run by professional parents. Child care professionals will be carefully selected and required to go through lengthy training in which they undergo their own psychotherapy, first of all, and then learn the principles of raising a healthy child. The principles will not be based on the political sentiments of the left nor on the religious sentiments of the right, but on scientifically proven policies that produce healthy children. They will raise children who learn to understand themselves, regulate their emotions, solve problems, develop the capacity to love and have empathy, and understand how to respect their own feelings and the feelin

63Step Four: Parent Training. All parents should be required to undergo parent training. In parent training they would learn, first of all, to understand themselves. Parents who do not understand themselves and are not in touch with their feelings, cannot raise a healthy child. Parents must understand the importance of establishing a peaceful family environment, for that is the kind of environment in which a healthy child grows. Parents must understand a child’s stages of development so as to know what to expect in each stage and how to deal with it. They should be taught how to handle crises that might occur in each stage. For example, in the toddler stage, from two to four, children want to establish self-mastery, which is good, but their attempt at establishing self-mastery can sometimes go too far so that the child may want to be the boss of not only everything it does but also of the whole household. It is important for parents at this stage to be supportive of the self-mastery, but

64Step Five: Two-Parent Families. Research has shown that healthy parenting will most likely be attained if a child has both a father and a mother. The trend of single-parenting must be reversed. I understand that there will be great resistance to this notion, but this has been well researched, although the research has been dismissed or hidden by people who do not agree with the research. There seems to be an instinctual need by children to have both a mother and a father, which provides the organic balance they require. This is not to say that all fathers are good fathers or all mothers are good mothers or two-parent families are always better than single-parent families. But the combination of a father and mother has been shown to provide the best results more often than not.

66This definition of the jobs of mother and father is a heterosexual model, but that model can be adapted to alternate models. For the last hundred years or so, political and religious groups have created sentiment and pseudo research that appears to show that fundamentally religious or gay or transgender parenting is just as good as heterosexual parenting or better, or that one parent is as good as two parents or that the most important thing for children to learn is about homosexual and transgender rights. There has been a lot of research that purports to prove the validity of same-sex or transgender parenting, but the research that is used in that research has not been properly validated. Researchers in biased studies often interview children of transgender parents and ask them if they are happy or if they think their parents are good parents. Transgender parents, out of unconscious guilt feelings, may oversell themselves to their children in order to convince them that they are happy

69A healthy culture is, first of all, a culture that is at peace. A peaceful cultural environment, just like a peaceful family environment, provides an atmosphere that is conducive to healthy functioning and to a contented, productive and cooperative society with the highest quality of life. A dysfunctional culture is one in which there is strife, unrest and a low quality of life. Therefore, in order to heal our culture, we must do whatever it takes to restore it to a state of peace. Peace means that our culture is no longer divided, but is a unified whole. Peace means that there are no longer political forces that are agitating the culture and bringing about strife and unrest. Peace means that our society is fair for everybody and no individual or group is favored over others. When potential mass killers grow up in a culture that is divided into parties and factions, in which some are favored over others, they cannot help but be affected by it.

70We had peace in our culture in the past, but after World War II America began to prosper and lose its grip on society. A generation of children were raised to feel that they were entitled to share that prosperity. Another generation came and another. Human rights were more important than human responsibilities, and our culture began to get out of control and to deteriorate until the United States began to unravel and factionalize, becoming another version of the Wild West. Restoring peace and harmony to American culture will require a return to the values that made it great. Like restoring functionalism to families, making our culture functional again will call for a huge effort that will need to address its glaring issues. It will have to reign in the factors that caused it to get out of control and restore an attitude of unity and cooperation. To do this, many groups that have gotten out of control will have to be brought back under control and will have to give up some of their most

This resulted in police departments being defunded all over America, and prompted a heightened wave of crime (10). As Black riots became the standard, other groups began to copy that standard.

76The source of divisiveness is groupthink and doublespeak, terms first found in George Orwell’s novel, 1984 (15). Groupthink refers to people who are unable to think independently of their group. Doublespeak refers to telling lies that are made to seem to be the truth. As Democrats became more radical their goal was not peace and prosperity, but rather control over American government, values and culture. As Republicans became more reactionary, their goal became gaining power and ideological influence over America. Communication between them was warlike. It is the same thing that happens to divided families. Parents who are in conflict continually scapegoat each other and engage in right-wrong, warlike arguments. Their goal is to win the argument, not to resolve it. Divided liberals and conservatives (Democrats and Republicans) were intent on winning the ideological war, not in resolving differences and achieving unity.

77Restoring unity to American culture, may require a great leader who is truly neutral in outlook and able to see both sides of the argument. This leader would need to be skilled in constructive communication and be able to relate to both conservatives and liberals and establish trust with them. Such a leader would be, basically, a cultural psychotherapist. A cultural psychotherapist might establish regular town meetings, which would be like extended therapy groups, inviting people from all walks of life to speak honestly without fear. There would be rules of conduct prohibiting people at the meetings from raising their voices or talking over people. People would be required to listen to others respectfully, even if they strongly disagreed with them, and wait for their turns to respond. Courtesy and respect would be the guiding principles of such meetings. By encouraging all sides to honestly express themselves, the town meetings would represent a way of truly opening up a dialog between

78The leader would also encourage and model a new kind of political philosophy—a centrist philosophy—that would embrace the best of both the Democratic and Republican parties. In the end, this might lead to the establishment of a third party, a Centrist Party. The first line of a famous poem by William Butler Yeats goes, “Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.” Yeats was fully aware of how important it is for a culture to have a strong center. In order to restore political unity, America would need to reestablish that strong center. When the violence in our culture stops and peace is restored, that will go a long way toward preventing mass killings.

80A few remedies that might be applied immediately—a behavioral solution—might be useful. Knowing that mass killers are copycats, the media should be wary of how they report on a mass killing. If possible, reporters should not become fascinated with a mass killer and make this killer into an antihero. The more publicity the mass killer gets, and the more he is elevated into a kind of mythical figure, the more other mass killers will be inspired and want to copy him. In short, mass killings should be reported on as though they are not that important, and, in fact, as some routine incident that is not of particular newsworthiness.

81Perhaps laws can be passed prohibiting the media from publicizing a mass murder. Or laws could prohibit the media from using the mass killer’s name, thereby preventing him from being famous. The less publicity a mass killer is given, the less he will become an inspiration that invites copycats.

85Mass killers are the products of dysfunctional families and cultures. Making our families and our culture functional will be a tall order. In studying the six stages of civilizations (16), I have found that once civilizations have reached the sixth stage—the decadent stage—they are like snow balls rolling down a hill; they cannot be stopped. By the end of the 20th Century, America had reached the decadent stage of development—and it had reached it more quickly than almost any other civilization in history. In the decadent stage, a society falls out of control, loses its moral fiber and becomes divided. Once in that stage, it regresses back to a primitive mentality of seeking instant gratification and rationalizing rather than thinking in a logical way. The decadent society descends into a state of turmoil in which sane people are no longer listened to and the worst people become leaders.

I am not optimistic that such a complex and arduous revision of our values and our approach to dealing with mass killings in America will be carried out. Yet, I offer it with the idea that maybe, just maybe, someone will find a way to do some of these things and thereby do some small bit to at least slow down the trend of mass killings.

48Mass killings happen because of emotions that become overheated. One can compare them to the eruption of volcanoes. The breeding ground of volcanos is festering rocks. Deep within the Earth, the rocks that form the base of a mountain become hot. Pressure and radiogenic heating make it very hot deep in the Earth and over time, they become so hot that some rocks melt completely and they become a thick flowing substance called magma. Since the magma is lighter than the solid rock around it, magma rises and collects in magma chambers. Eventually, some of the magma pushes through vents and fissures and explodes to the surface (1).

49The urge to kill has its roots in the rise of anger that happens in dysfunctional families and cultures. It develops gradually. A few years after the end of World War II, America’s children started revolting against their parents and told their parents how to parent them; hence parents were no longer parents. During the Vietnam War, Americas students revolted against their schools and told their schools how to school them; hence teachers were no longer teachers. From the Vietnam War on, many young people revolted against their government and particularly police, and hence police could no longer be police. Then various extreme political and religious groups formed movements that protested in unpeaceful ways, and hence American society was no longer peaceful. This, in turn, provoked strife in our families and our culture and cultivated a collective unrest and anger.

According to the psychiatric establishment, children turn out depressed because they have a chemical imbalance, not because their mother let them cry in their cradle for hours while she lay in bed wondering whether to kill herself; children turned out to be anxious because they were born that way, not because their father slapped them silly and never let them have a moment of peace; children became criminals because of their genetic makeup, not because they grew up watching their parents abuse and lie to each other and abuse and lie to them.

If a parent squashes his children’s attempts to criticize his parenting by saying, “Don’t tell us we are bad parents!”—this is a sign of family dysfunction. Dysfunctional cultures are an outgrowth as well as a source of dysfunctional families. If a government does not allow freedom of speech—does not allow people to say the government is wrong, it is a dysfunctional government. If a government or the people in a government insist on their version of reality and censor any other way of viewing life, it is a dysfunctional government.

These killings are rising exponentially as the strife ramps up in our culture and our families and culture become more dysfunctional.
