Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday blasted social media that glorifies violence and its impact on New York City’s children in the aftermath of the Texas elementary school shooting that left 19 students and two teachers dead.

Adams at a press conference held up a viral video of multiple kids waving guns, mouthing the words “I try to catch me a body” — a euphemism for killing someone.

“We’re not blaming our children. Our children did not create this world. We did,” said Adams, who added that children do not manufacture firearms or create laws. “We’re betraying them.”

“Social media knows this is going on and they’re allowing it to happen,” he added. “This is a perfect storm for violence.”
