[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the 20/20 interview with her.  I used to think she was in complete denial, however, there are a lot of things that sent off warning bells, but the parents of both kids did try to intervene.  Harris did have a sociopathic personality and Klebold a depressive one.  They definitely hid a lot from their parents.

[b]Before Columbine, no one could imagine such a tragedy. [/b] Unfortunately, the real tragedy is that mass shootings and school shootings still keep happening.  Often these shooters come from stable homes--the common denominator is GUNS.  If we actually had gun control, we wouldn't have so many dead kids.[/quote]

I think this is the key.  I saw the interview but haven't read the book yet.  She absolutely didn't come across as the out of touch, distant, cold parent I thought she would be.  Based on what she and others observed in her son, I don't think warning bells for suicide were going off and certainly neither she nor anyone else could have had any inkling of the massacre that was to come.
