[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CPS should be investigating all families/homes of kids who are emotional disturbed or disruptive at school to make sure the kids are eating and sleeping properly, not being abused, etc. And now we can add that they shouldn’t be allowed access to a gun to the list of things to be checked out.

The parents of this particular kid should be charged with attempted homicide for allowing their emotionally disturbed 6 year old access to a loaded firearm.[/quote]

I know we all want to demonize these parents.  But it’s possible these parents are living a nightmare with this kid, it’s possible they were doing almost everything they possibly could we th limited means.  This kid is seriously disturbed based on what he’s said and done.  The gun was a huge miscalculation on their part, but this child sounds, frankly, diabolical.

The teacher said to the principal get this kid out of my class.  From now on teachers should be allowed to demand that administrators remove violent kids for the entire day, at a minimum.  I hope the teacher unions fight for this.  We will be destroying our public school system if we don’t protect teachers and other students from dangerous kids.  [/quote]

As a teacher reading up on this story I find it infuriating that admin ignored multiple warnings that this kid had a gun. The lesson I take from this? Trust no one and call the police if a weapon is seen or suspected. [/quote]
