[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents must be held accountable! Police investigated the kid last year for threatening to shoot up his school. Mom and dad should be in jail with him.[/quote]
Yup.

The state must get involved. We cannot trust the word or judgement of just any parent . Do you think troubled kids ever have troubled parents ????

How come these red states think they can dictate how a woman’s womb is used. Come between her and her doctor, but not enter a household that contains firearms and a troubled kid? Therapy and weapons  confiscation should have been mandated in this case. [/quote]

So your solution is to lock up any troubled kid who voices a threat? Look, I'm not minimizing the importance of identifying kids who potentially pose a risk, but we can't just start locking up kids for threats. Surely there's a better way to handle it. [/quote]

The FBI went to his house to interview him and the dad.

This was not simply a one-time, passing, childish threat.[/quote]

Ok, so what's your solution? We lock the kid up forever? Plenty of kids make stupid decisions and threaten violence but never follow through on it. Again, I'm not minimizing the severity of the situation, but I just don't see how it's reasonable to lock up every kid who makes a threat.[/quote]

If the FBI went to his house, a minimum requirement should be that household weapons be secured. If the gun came from his house, the father should be put on trial.[/quote]

Yes, I definitely agree with this. I'd also be interested in figuring out a way to expel these kids and place them in a school with higher levels of security. I don't think we should be throwing kids in jail, but if they pose a threat to other kids they should be removed from that setting. [/quote]
