<<I am looking for any evidence that working parents are the root cause of all these school shootings - any hard facts - and if somebody can produce those then ok.>>

Did someone at Feelings actually suggest that the school shootings are related to mothers working, Lizzie? I can see why in a way--children who are unsupervised after school do have more opportunities to get into trouble, and often have less moral guidance than children whose mothers stay home. Personally, I think that school shootings are much more related to the prevalence of guns in this society, mostly untreated mental illness in teenagers, and the general culture of violence in America. Oh, and Christianity--all the school shooters have been church goers except the one shooter who mowed down a prayer group because they had taunted him unmercifully. It would be interesting to see what percentage of them were spanked, wouldn't it?
