1. This is a fourth grader. I highly doubt he's going to show up and shoot people this year, HOWEVER -

2. You need to raise hell because sane children don't say things like this, and if the police isn't involved and clued in, and this boy's parents don't get him to a therapist and psychologist, he could be the next high school shooter in a few years.

3. And by raising hell I mean getting together with ALL the parents whose children you know are on the list and talking to them, as well as contacting the school and demanding they take it seriously, and if no one else calls the police, call them yourself.

4. Don't downplay your child's role in this or the other children's role. Perhaps they bullied him, perhaps not, but the reality is that he FELT bullied. In your communication with the police and the school, always be factual, objective and fair. Do not reject bullying accusations out of hand.

Nope, I disagree.  Just because a child FELT bullied (and right now we don't even know if that is why he made the kill list, that is all speculation) it doesn't mean her child played any role in it unless something comes out that shows she did do something.  This generation over abuses  the words mean girls and bully boys.  Someone a child getting their feelings hurt by a situation doesn't equal bully.  I refuse to teach my daughter to appease to any boys or girls all of the time.  This leads to guilt-ridden poor decisions they don't feel comfortable about as a teen and young adult.

The boy could be an absolute lunatic.  Right now, she told the mom she has't bullied and that would be enough for me, especially if she has never lied before.  Would I listed to the boy's or the parents rationale?  Sure and then we would go back to the drawing board.   What if it was because he wasn't invited to her birthday party?  Is that being a bully.  What if it was because she won't sit with him on the bus because she prefers her girlfriend neighbor that she is closer with?  Is that bullying.  The is a fine line and if you assume your daughter has done the worst, how will you ever make her feel worthy if you find out you jumped the gun on pointing fingers at her.  She will lose confidence and you lose her trust.  [/quote]
