A recent story in the news reminded me of the mindset that fuels gang-stalking. In Waycross, Ga a group of third graders (nine-year-olds) plotted to attack their teacher. Apparently, they were angry at the teacher for scolding one of them for standing on a chair. The group brought a collection of weapons to school that included a crystal paperweight for knocking the teacher unconscious, handcuffs and a steak knife. Each child was assigned a role in the scheme, including wiping up blood after the attack.

We expect children to be spiteful. However, we also expect responsible parents to monitor and curb such behavior and thinking. Outgrowing spiteful tendencies is a part of developing emotional maturity. In this case, it may well be that a lack of good parental examples combined with young minds saturated with television, video and movie violence became the fertile ground for this potentially horrific incident. Is this the same fertile soil that spawns the gang-stalking mindset?

The immature, violent thinking of those nine-year-olds has striking parallels with that of modern-day adult gang-stalkers. Gang-Stalkers also gang up on their victims with the same intent to harm, and with motives that are petty and irrational. Gang-stalking is also premeditated, with a division of responsibilities among its participants. However, there is one major difference that age brings. The nine-year-old mind cannot see the consequences of its actions. Therefore, it makes little effort to conceal its spite. The adult mind understands the consequences of cruel actions and fears retaliation. That’s why the adult gang-stalker makes an extraordinary effort to hide his actions.

So, in closing I ask: When it comes to cruel, spiteful behavior, who is imitating whom? Is the child imitating the adult? Or is the adult imitating the child?
