So a person I knew in High School, I see her posts on Facebook. None of you reading this know her. She has a kid.
This kid has the Crazy Eyes. Like uncanny, frighteningly crazy. Like, 'gonna be a psycho in a few years after puberty hits and then the world will know about me!' crazy eyes. The has that vacant look that the Connecticut school shooter had.
But really, what can I do?
What are the chances I am even right? What do I know? I'm just a shlub. I can't give some sort of informed psychological evaluation that will impact the rest of the boy's life because of a 600x900 .jpg file! Even if I did know what I was talking about.
And what if I did say something and what if I am right? Do I just use it so in a few years I can go "Tolja so..." when the kid shoots up an Automat? Most likely, a statement of this sort would be treated as an insult. And understandably so. And if my hunch proves true making such a perceived insult will probably result in less chance of any intervention before it is too late.
The kid is cute and adorable, too, so she posts a lot of pictures. But there is just something off about the eyes.
Most likely it is nothing and the kid will grow up and lead a happy life. And they live many many states away.
One can only hope... At least they're not close...
