[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... what actually happened?[/quote]

The rumor is that one boy was gently teasing another. That kid went nuts and started beating the crap out of the teaser with a chair, to the point where he was hospitalized. Then he ran off, so the school was put into lockdown.

I don't think metal detectors are helpful if the weapon of choice is a chair. What is needed is better mental health interventions, and removing children with this kind of disposition to more secure facilities where they can be catered for more appropriately.[/quote]

They are good for knives and guns.

Mental health interventions would not help.  This kid was probably teased for years and go to the breaking point.  We need to address the issues, like this kid being teased for years, not just put a bandaid via a quick therapy session.[/quote]

What are you talking about? You have no idea that this kid was being teased for years. That is something you have literally just made up.
It could be that this kid was not being bullied, but is mentally unstable and has a history of violent behavior, and a relatively innocent comment set him off.

In which case, I agree a quick therapy session would not solve anything, but removing him from the general population and putting him in a more suitable setting would be the solution...[/quote]
