I read this earlier. It is such a shame. I will probably get jumped on for this but in my limited experience with homeschooled kids they all were a little off.

I wouldn't say all, but probably a high percentage. I think if the parents join home school groups and do activities with other families the kids are a little more socialized. I do know home schooled people who are on both ends of the spectrum.
I don't know what Broken Arrow is, but as far as homeschooling goes, nearly all of the kids I've known who have been home-schooled are very high ability--but very low on social skills.
Even if you set up "activities" with other home-school kids, you are setting up activities with a pretty homogenous group of people, all with basically the same outlooks, values, and experiences. You still are not getting the diversity that you would find in school.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
I just knew that it's a city because I have a friend who lives there. Her children were home schooled and are successful adults. I think you really need to expose the kids to a lot of culture if keeping them out of public schools. I know some young adults who were home schooled and didn't socialize outside the church and a pretty messed up and useless.
So the mom home schooled the 7 kids, and the dad worked from home. The kids were not allowed to play outside and were not allowed to socialize with other kids. Something was fishy here.

I, too, have a friend in Broken Arrow and learned about this when she posted on FB last night. Very scary, and sad.
As for home schooling, there is a family up the street....5 kids, all home schooled. I don't know much else about them. They pretty much keep to themselves. I have to wonder about people like that. And I have to wonder why parents decide to home school.

My experience with home schoolers is that they are either HIGHLY motivated and committed and work really hard to do that well. OR, they are the laziest of the lazy arses who don't even want to be bothered to get their arses out of bed to get their kids to school. I went and looked at a home that was sale by the homeowner one time. The house wasn't great but had potential in a good location. It was a school normal school day. When I went to tour the house it was an absolute MESS and even dog feces on the carpet. And, when we went downstairs to the basement, her middle school aged son was lying is generous bottom on the sofa playing video games. So, yeah, sorry but that was simply a mom too lazy to even get her kid on the bus.
How in the heck is was the dad working from home with 7 kids hanging around? They weren't allowed outside! Yeah, I think something was going on in this house. Kids don't murder their parents for no reason, out of the blue. Maybe those poor kids were sick of feeling like prisoners in their own home.

You mean the poor kids who got stabbed by their sibling?

I am betting they were abused and the kids thought the only way to ensure the abuse stopped was to kill the parents and some of the siblings tried to stop them.

They were LITTLE KIDS. Is there nothing you won't try to justify?

I am not saying they were right to kill their parents and siblings. I am just saying that I am betting there was some abuse that led to this. Kids don't murder their parents for no reason.

Actually, quite often, they do--or at least the reasons are NOT abuse most of the time.
Plus, I don't give a crap if they got beat every day--that doesn't give them the right or excuse to kill their younger siblings who had nothing to do with said abuse.

I agree with this 100%. I'm sick of all the excuses that get thrown around when family members kill other family members. The excuses given for that father who killed his wife and daughter were even worse than these excuses though.
