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.
