to your last point is because the school shootings are more sensational thus they can be used more easily.
in my opinion the family structure has been under attack for decades and now the results are starting to show. People are easier to control when the family structure is broken.
And with the death you are referring to, and I obviously don't know her situation, but maybe if she would have had a support structure in place maybe she wouldn't have been in the situation she was and wouldn't have had to rely on TikTok income.
I just see things falling apart and its only getting worse.
