          Three. Aged six, seven, and nine.

          8 stabbed children

          5 still critical.

          adults hurt too.

            What could possibly drive someone to something so evil in real life?

                It’s 100% mental illness, loneliness and lack of treatment options. It doesn’t mean we should feel sorry for the perpetrator, but everyone’s a victim here. It’s just a horrid situation all around.

                  Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong they need to go to prison forever.

                After 14 years of Tory cuts I doubt the attacker could’ve accessed treatment even if he wanted to.
