Well, there are cca. 3000 people living in Kamisu 66-chou. If they killed thousands of children per year or even per decade they would be extinct by now.

I dunno, from what I know about cats it's kind of impossible? After all, they're just animals. You can't train them for something they can't experience. Also, killing an akki after he definitively snaps is pretty much impossible even for cats, that's when he turns into an unstoppable killing machine.

It could be a sign of either akki or gouma... Anyway, people don't just turn from normal people with some strange symptoms into akki or gouma overnight - the thing is, no-one can predict when it happens. Remember, in Shun's case Maria and Mamoru overheard the Education Board talking about killing Shun before he fully becomes a gouma. There's also a reason why Shun broke up with Satoru and distanced himself from the rest of the group: he realized, sooner than anyone, that something was wrong with him that may affect his friends. (Actually, the anime didn't mention this but in the novel Saki says that during that particular time they all felt weird as if something was in the air, Maria kept complaining about headaches, etc. So most likely Shun's condition was already affecting them.)

Sure - we agree about that.
