[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if he had access to his backpack during the meeting. If not, I think asking to do his science homework could just have been his way of trying to get access to his backpack which contained his gun.

What angers me most....[b]According to news reports, when the fact that when the news reports came on saying that there was a shooter at the high school, the father checked to see if the gun was still where it was stored. It wasn't. Father then called 911, claimed his own gun was missing and the shooter might be his son.[/b]

There was a 2 hour gap between the meeting and the shooting. Now, I think the parents should have told the school officials the kid had access to a gun. But even if they weren't willing to do that, why didn't the parents check at home IMMEDIATELY to make sure the gun was at home? [/quote]

That's a highly under-reported factoid. I guess whatever special interests are likely bankrolling the prosecutor's PR didn't think that fit their agenda.[/quote]

Yes, and mom immediately texted the kid "Ethan don't do it." She knew immediately. [/quote]

Too little, too late, as usual.

Agree, although I think such a trite phrase minimizes their repeated and significant parenting deficiencies over lifetime. Sadly there are no classes or exams required to be a parent, nor really any minimum standards. [/quote]

Agreed - typical of this kind of (non) parenting. [/quote]

What’s odd is that it doesn’t seem like she was totally checked out—they got him an expensive Xmas present, she’s sending him jokey texts, etc.  clearly they are awful parents but they are disengaged.  They are just making all the wrong decisions because they are so steeped in their cultural or political beliefs that gun ownership is some sort of positive moral trait and any restraint on it or questioning of it is akin to telling them they can’t practice their religion.  They are t hearing what the school says because she’s writing the school social workers off as an anti-gun knee jerk liberal who wants to take the guns from her family.  Look back at her letter to trump—she’s basically saying her guns are more important to her than her right not to be sexually assaulted.  That’s pretty profound.  [/quote]

Lots of parents who DGAF still buy expensive gifts. The bigger tell is that he drew that horrible drawing/cry for help and they just...left him there. And then he went to jail and they just...left town. [/quote]
