3rd Graders Plot teacher attack

Hi everyone!
So I'm sure you've all heard about the group of nine or so 3rd grade students who plotted to attack their teacher. When I heard about this on the radio this morning I had no words. What exactly happened in the last 15 years or so since I've been in 3rd grade?? Not only is it absolutely ridiculous that a child would even THINK of hurting anyone let alone their teacher, but to develop this meticulous master plan to knock her over the head with a paper weight and tie her up and stab her?! ARE YOU KIDDING???
You know what I planned with my friends in 3rd grade....fashion shows with our Barbie dolls and games of tag or hide-and-go-seek. How does the mind of a child become so dark and angry? They supposedly had a plan for each student. They all had their own prop to bring in like duct tape and a knife and a paper weight. They all had their own 'job' like one kid was supposed to make sure the windows were covered so that no one could discover what they were doing and one was to hit her over the head while another tied her up and put duct tape over her mouth. Every last detail conspired.
At age 8, 9, and 10 you know what's right and wrong so how do these children not know what they planned was wrong on so many levels. Where are these kids parents?? Not teaching them right from wrong apparently.
Who do you put most of the blame on? The parents? Television? Tell me what you think. Visit The Cafe and tell us your thoughts.
