1. Didn't call the police and knew he had the gun with him

Culpable

2. WTF

that kid should have been searched and referred IMMEDIATELY for a mental health evaluation - he pretty much TOLD them what he was thinking

[Rhiannon12866]

4. What kind of parents not only wouldn't stop him, but enable him by providing the gun???

[Skittles]

5. fucked up gun humping parents

it's just sick beyond belief - they utterly failed their son and it's other people's kids who paid the price

9. +++ agree. n/t

6. School officials cannot search the backpack.

Law enforce can do that…the parents can do that. All school officials can do is ask the child to empty the backpack and clearly they should have done that.

7. His parents failed him

[Skittles]

8. yes

10. The Day Before The Shooting

He posted on social media about his urges to shoot people at his school and ended it with "help me". He was reaching out and nobody was there. As sick as he was the question becomes why didn't the parents take him in for an evaluation. Too many missed signals.

11. I can see it getting missed way back in the day

but now, when school shootings have become so depressingly common, it is extremely disturbing that neither the parents NOR school officials took actions the average person likely could think of

3. They should up the charges to accessory to murder
