Thanks Marp !

With our crumbling infrastructure, lead pipes, leaded gas, pollutants, use of pesticides/fertilizers et al it stands to reason in my mind that this has a direct link or effect of the increase in crime and violent acts in the US.

Seems that almost every family I know is affected in some way.

Lead is also commonly found in the peeling paint of various types of housing in poor areas.

It's been known for years that kids will pick off and eat pieces of pealing paint.

It also comes from lead pipes in older areas.

It seems the research and facts don't support your opinion, MaggieMack.

I remember reading articles years and years ago that spoke about lead poisoning and the long-term damage it does to children.

...and to their children who are committing horrific crimes and many more who are suffering from mental illness ?

Mystrion, I don't doubt that there is a link to lead and violence. However, I think there is a greater link to violence and psychotropic drugs. I would post links, but don't want to go through the shaming. Googling it will provide multiple sources.

Post reliable sources and nobody will "shame" you. It's the quack sites or odd conspiracy theory sites that aren't worth quoting. Which drugs have you read about?

Look at children killers in the news. Many were playing violent video games and on drugs their doctors gave them for one reason or another.

Which killers? I'd like to read about it on some reliable websites of peer reviewed studies. I have seen studies about video games being a problem but not prescribed meds.

I'm curious too. And I think that this type of example between psychotropic drugs and becoming a killer leads you to the chicken or the egg conundrum.

@Mrsq2022- actually many anti-depressants may cause bizarre behavior leading to violence such as : Halcion, Effexor, Prozac and amphetamines given for ADD as well and Lariam which is a common anti malarial prescribed for travel may cause violent behavior to name a few. My husband wore the patch at sea and had bizarre behavior but not violent. However I don't feel that is the main cause of violence in our society.
