To quote John Holt: "When children do well,adults pat themselves on the back and say "look what a good job we've done". And when children fail adults put the finger of blame solely on the child".

Its a sad world we live in when kids kill kids. My question is where is society for these kids who do these heinous crimes? Why doesn't anyone notice these children who fall through the cracks of society? When kids act out aggression towards animals and other children instead of turning a blind eye they should be given help.If the parents won't do their job then it becomes societies responsibility. And if society refuses to get involved,then it has only itself to blame.

That too, and you're absolutely right.

@xkambreenkitxbff , I've always thought that this song was also a commentary on society in general - especially when a horrific crime is committed by children, hurting or killing another child - the adults around the young perpetrators obviously did not do enough to deal with the problems that the two boys had, turned a blind eye, & that includes not only the parents but also their teachers. If someone had stepped in, this crime might have been prevented. RIP little James.

Damn, this song always makes me cry because I know what it was written for.
What kind of a monster does that to a two-year-old boy? We live in such a sick world...

God will make right all the injustices in this sick world. Even when justice is not met on the earth, there is to come the real judgement and a place waiting for every single soul. The Lord will rise one day when we're all least expecting it and when many will deny Christ over and over. He will overcome all the evil to exist just as He warned us many times in prophecy.

I looked up the meaning of the song, if anyone's interested and it's not written on here by anyone-
They said the song was done just after the James Bulger case... two teenagers who, about 15 years ago, kidnapped a toddler from a supermarket, walked him around for a while, brought him to a railroad track, and, they say, beat him to death for fun.
Unfortunately, while I am prochild, the Cranberries were singing about the atrocity of this horrific event and the overall desensitization of society.
