[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the guilty sentence was deserved. I live in DC. I would like to see parents of all the children carjacking and murdering also charged. The only hope of the U.S. is for us to demand better, more stable, more engaged parenting. Schools can't solve it all. [/quote]

Major mistake.  There was no way to know he would shoot up the school.  Hopefully this will be reversed on appeal.  I doubt this judge will throw the verdict out but she should.  [/quote]

No it was not a major mistake.  It was a negligent parent who ignored many signs that there were problems with her child.  She willfully disdained paying attention because she was more interested in her own life.

When he was 8, his parents would leave him along for hours, going out eating and drinking.
He told her he was hallucinating.  He texted asking for help.  She didn't even respond.
Several times he texted her, but she frequently ignored his texts to spend time with her horses or going out with her AP.
She paid more attention to her horses and her swinging lifestyle than she did to her child.
Her child had multiple incidents at school.  She never attended any parent-teacher conferences to talk about his progress, lack thereof, or behavior in school.
Her son's only friend moved away.  She did nothing.
Child was isolated, withdrawn and had no friends.  She never spoke with him, but instead of talking with him to evaluate his mental state, they bought him a gun.
Yes, her husband was responsible for gun safety, but she never ever paid enough attention to learn where the combination was or to check that it was still on the factory setting of 000
On the day of the killing spree, she was called in to work, saw a very disturbing drawing by her son, and then insisted she couldn't take him home or work on getting him medical treatment, she had to go back to work, despite her boss testifying that they had a very lax workplace and she could have brought him back to work or taken the rest of the day off with a phone call.  But she insisted that if the school would not let him go back to class, that he would have to walk home alone and be home alone without anyone.  
She saw the horrifying drawing that included the gun that they had given him 4 days before and didn't think to ask him if he had the gun or tell the school he had such a gun.

It was not a major mistake.  She was grossly negligent as a parent and that was why she was rightly convicted.[/quote]
