[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

There is no such thing as being “gently teased”.  Words hurt.  Sure, violence is never an answer, but the kid in the hospital is not an innocent victim. [/quote]

Wtf, of course there is. Kids make mildly reading jokes all the time, all day long. You are a victim blaming idiot unless you have specific knowledge the assailant was actually being bullied. [/quote]

Look, if your brat is teasing and cannot read social cues of others that its making them uncomfortable, you need to parent your kid better and get them social skills training.  This was probably bullying and the kid who attacked had enough.  If the bully is bullying all day, every day, there is some merit to the other child snapping.  It usually has to be pretty bad to go that far.  Maybe your brat will learn from this.[/quote]
