VIDEO GAMES TO BLAME?
Chief Petties said recently he hoped as many parents and citizens as possible could attend to help them recognize the signs of trouble before it happens: "Its going to be great ... a great setting ... you're going to see some things ... hear some things ... it makes you aware of people you need to watch ... ."
Petties: "You can tell when you have a problem child ... that's the main thing ... recognizing when you have someone that has a problem. Its going to take a team effort ... teachers, principals working with us ... ."
Petties and Lt. Larry Sledge warned that playing violent video games -- such as Grand Theft Auto -- should raise red flags for parents.
Sledge recommended the book "Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill: A Call to Action Against TV, Movie, and Video Game Violence" by Dave Grossman, to parents.
(Petties told the Times that any student experiencing bullying at the high school -- on Facebook or elsewhere -- should contact school resource officer Cpl. Shane Nolte.)
