Jacka father charged with murder of 8yo son

I don’t think there is more domestic violence now than years ago – just expect better behaviour now.
Not all violence being reported is domestic violence. The scum who are bashing the elderly, punching others in the street, drunken brawls, gatecrashing parties, assaulting ambulance drivers, nurses, teachers and police officers are these all products of being hit at schools?
I don’t expect teachers to hit students in order to provide discipline but someone needs to step up. Groups of high school kids think its alright to fight and hurt others.

Need to understand why so many young males are extremely violent. Obviously the no discipline methods at home and school don’t work.
Only have to listen to the news daily to recognise the patterns.
No respect or empathy for others seems to be the norm.
So many violent offenders walk out of court and laugh at the system.
This case is horrific but so are the many deaths and bashings caused by violent perpetrators.

Why do you think there is more domestic violence now than in previous generations? In the past some violent domestic actions were accepted, if not condoned, while there was far less reporting of domestic violence and far less action taken about it.

With that in mind, it is hard to fathom how todays “discipline methods” are the contributing factor. Would it not be the opposite? When a school teacher is allowed to hit a child for misbehaviour then it is clear to the child that violence is a legitimate means of enforcing “discipline”, so of course when that child grows up they are going to also think it acceptable. If you’re already hitting a child as part of general discipline, it’s not much a much further step for that punishment to get out of hand. It’s a much larger leap to beatings at home when it’s not part of the daily repertoire.

Very sad.

Another person will go to jail and be released as a broken person later in life and the indecent cycle will continue.
Why do we do so little to work out why this happens?

Poor little kid. I am really crushed by this. How can this happen?

Very very sad.

No words.

FYI the father’s name has been reported in other more mainstream media.
