[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't read the thread, but wanted to share some thoughts.

I really think these parents will get off.  Initially my thoughts were outrage and how could they enable this behavior by purchasing a gun for him, etc.

However, if you look at the facts as presented, the fault of the tragedy in the school lies with school administrators.

Although the school alerted the parents of the drawings Ethan made that day, the parents are not mental health experts.  They are not qualified to determine whether he is a threat, and in fact as parents, their opinion should not even be considered.

The school really should have made the determination as to whether Ethan should return to the classroom.  Despite the fact they tried to send him home with the parents (who refused), they should have called in law enforcement at that point (or at the very least the SRO).  It is the job of the school to protect the student body and staff.

The parents really did nothing wrong short of poor judgment.  There are lots of crappy parents out there, but luckily most don't end up with a kid becoming a school shooter.[/quote]

LOL. I see the gun lobby has its interns working overtime on this one trying to sway public opinion. First, the appeal to reason (At first I thought this totally obvious thing), followed by the "facts as presented" followed by a bunch of excuses and dropped facts. [/quote]
