    This is purely speculation, but I think the reason children are frequently targeted is because they are innocent and the most beloved thing in their parents lives. I think most parents would rather be killed than their children, so to the murderer, it is a way to hurt someone that’s worse than killing them. It is the most heinous act they can think of, and the most aggressive protest to society. I wish mainstream media didn’t give them the infamy they get, because I feel like it feeds into their fantasy, but I also like information to be freely accessible, and don’t think censoring these things is a great solution either. They should probably just emphasis the fact that these awful people are weak, impotent, cowards, who will be forgotten, and they will be nothing more than a statistic with no name attached. Total identity erasure.
