Another aspect to consider is the lack of limits Bill and Faith put on Kip. They never got into his activities. They didn't mind the kind of music Kip listened to, like Marilyn Manson, or other hard rock bands, which lyrics inspired nothing, but violence, hate and sadness. This was no good for a person like Kip, who somehow was lacking guidance, and was extremely emotional. Furthermore, he used to surf the Internet without restrictions. His parents would never come inside his room to check on what he was doing. With time, we would find out that he used to go into sites, in which people would learn how to make "home-made explosives." he would also learn how to build up weapons, and where to acquire them. Actually, even though the Kinkel home had been described by Kristin as "A violence free house, where aggression was a big no-no" Kip was sent to Tae-Kwon-Do lessons, and therefore, violence was encouraged in him. A time bomb had been created (Rowles 6). .
Kip would build up an entire armory in his house without his parents" knowledge. Even though they knew about the ones they had given him, they didn't know about the ones he had got on his own (Henmann 2). Bill and Faith, somehow where blinded by the fact that they couldn't think of their child as a bad person, as most of parents can't; but in this case too many things added up. His felonies, his love for hard rock, his admiration for guns, his lack of self-confidence, and on top of all, the several times the school had Bill and Faith called because of what Kip had written, done or said. For example the time he wrote how he meant nothing to anyone, and he wanted to die. Or when he said he would kill a classmate. His parents were never on top of their kid, they always let things be, expecting everything to come along fine. As a matter of fact, Bill couldn't develop a bond with his son; maybe that's why when Kip turned twelve, Bill agreed in giving him a gun, more specifically a rifle, provided he used it only under their supervision, and that is how it all started.
