I just don't see it that way. Sometimes, you can parent your guts out and not get to the problem. Sometimes, it is NOT the parents fault. This kid utterly destroyed his classmates and their families, his own family, his own life. Let him own it!

Didn't they go to the arraignment? That's what I read. There will be nothing they can do to help him. Let his defense attorney do the best he can for him. He's going to jail for the rest of his life. He has all but put his parents there, too. He's orphaned his sibs. I have regrets but no sympathy for this fifteen year old. Yes, he will be a different person later in life, but that won't bring back the people he killed.

Why didn't the school help the parents? They needed help at that point. But, I don't think anyone realized that the gun was missing. After the father discovered it was gone, he did what he should have done, he called the cops. But, it was too late by then.

This is why I feel that gun ownership should not be allowed until you are at least twenty five years old and your brain has finished developing. You may never be fully mature, but at least other people have more of a chance. But, try getting that passed!
