When Children Kill

Synopsis

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about the recent Texas heat wave, Kyle and Luke's Indiana Jones marathon, and the tragic sinking of the Titan submarine near the Titanic wreck site. Then, two bow hunters in Pennsylvania have an extraordinary experience in the woods with a ghost, some strange space gel, and possible time distortion. After the break, Kyle brings up some horrifying tales of murderous children. With stunning frequency, new stories appear about one of the most perplexing of all crimes - homicide committed by children. As recent research has shed light on children who murder, experts have become troubled about an apparent intensification of youthful homicidal behavior. For instance, Dr. Elissa P. Benedek, director of research and training at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Ann Arbor, Mich., said she had seen many more youths engaged in ''mass murder,'' the killing of more than one person, in the last few months than in all her previous experience.
