8 Stabbed in UK
I suspect he did it because he didn't have the same luxuries as a child or saw children back home being deprived. That or he hates little white girls because they have more privilege than him. Or maybe they made fun of him/were racist.

2. **Emotional Stability**: Older adults tend to have more emotional stability and patience, which can create a calm and nurturing environment for childrenĀ¹.
3. **Cultural Continuity**: Grandparents can pass down traditions, stories, and cultural values, helping children develop a strong sense of identity and heritageĀ².
4. **Intergenerational Bonding**: Spending time with elderly caregivers can foster strong intergenerational bonds, which can be beneficial for both the children and the elderlyĀ³.
5. **Reduced Loneliness**: For the elderly, caring for children can reduce feelings of loneliness and provide a sense of purposeĀ³.
### Disadvantages of the Elderly Caring for Children
1. **Physical Limitations**: Elderly caregivers may face physical challenges that can make it difficult to keep up with the energy levels and demands of young childrenĀ¹.
2. **Health Concerns**: Health issues common in older age can affect their ability to provide consistent and active careĀ¹.
3. **Generational Gaps**: Differences in generational perspectives and parenting styles can sometimes lead to conflicts or misunderstandingsĀ².

### Societies Where Elderly Care for Children is the Norm
In many cultures around the world, it is common for grandparents or elderly family members to take on significant childcare responsibilities:
1. **China**: In China, it is quite common for grandparents to care for their grandchildren, especially in rural areas where parents might move to urban centers for workā“.
2. **India**: In India, extended families often live together, and grandparents play a crucial role in raising childrenā“.
3. **Africa**: In various African communities, the concept of communal child-rearing is prevalent, where not just grandparents but other elderly members of the community also participate in childcareā“.
These practices not only support working parents but also help maintain strong family bonds and cultural continuity.
Do you have any specific concerns or situations in mind regarding elderly caregivers?

It'd be cool to customise your own coffin and write whatever you want on it instead of relatives putting vague things on your gravestone. I feel like there'll be a lot of drunk mistakes though if you just have to push a button. Suicide is more likely when it's on impulse, if the person has to take more steps like tie a noose that gives them time to change their mind. If they only have to push a button there will be more suicides.
