Last week a crazed Tampa woman shot her son and daughter because they were "disrespectful". The Tampa police arrested Julie Powers Schenecker after she admitted to fatally murdering her children. Ages 16 and 13, Julie Powers Schenecker shot her children with a .38 caliber gun. Both children were found in the upstairs bedroom of the family home. According to authorities Mrs. Schenecker was driving her son to soccer practice when she shot him in the head for talking back to her. Very furious she then drove to her home where she shot her teenage daughter in her face.
This is a tragedy that I don't think anyone would of expected. Everyone knows how teenagers are and how they can act. Especially in the world we live in today, teenagers are wild, out of control and disrespectful. Majority of the time, I believe that it is the parents fault for their child's out of control behavior. I totally understand with parents disciplining their children but to go as far as child abuse and murder is absurd. This motto that parents follow, "I brought you in this world and I'll take you out" has blown completely out of proportion. I feel as though if she really could not handle her children or was struggling she should of asked for help. By no means necessary should she have just shot her children. I don't understand what triggered this woman to do such a horrific thing but she did and now these two teenagers are dead and will never get a chance at life. This really gets under mu skin because it is such a sad situation because not only are two people dead but their murderer is alive and even in jail still living.
