Father,
Son Try To Curb School Violence (1/4/00)
A
Medical Lake man says he's come up with something that could
dramatically change the lives of students in trouble...the
very kids who've made national headlines for killing their
classmates.
He has created a program to change their
way of thinking and his inspiration may surprise you. When two gunmen
began their killing spree at Columbine High School near Denver, Doctor
Eldon Taylor asked the question that's made his career.
"What on earth goes through their
mind? What has to be in these young people's mind foremost above else
is this notion that it's ok to get even."
But as the shootings played out on television,
something else happened that forever changed Taylor's life. Taylor's
6 year old son, Roy, isn't afraid to tackle an issue as critical as
school violence.
"It all started when I told my dad
it was just time to stop this school violence. There won't be any more
bad guys. There would be more love on the planet and love on the moon
and love everywhere man goes to."
So they decided to create special tapes...with
subliminal messages. You think you're hearing the sound of water, when
in fact you're hearing something else too. All the tapes, some with
Roy's own voice, include subliminal affirmations.
Father and son believe these positive
messages are so powerful, a kid determined to get even - may think
about the consequences first.
