[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three things are true:
1.These issues predate Biden/Trump/Obama in my personal experience
2. Some kids are violent regardless of parenting
3. Owning a gun in this situation was bad parenting [/quote]

But back in the day, we put violent kids into special schools with lots of staff and supports.  My grandma worked at one during the 1970s, a  "School for the Emotionally Disturbed."  Expecting other kids and their teachers to deal with this and many other "special" behaviors is entirely unreasonable.[/quote]

They still have schools like this. They are often full (no seats), and school districts pay $400/day-ish per student (these are day schools, not residential). There aren't enough of them and there aren't enough seats and they are incredibly difficult to staff.[/quote]

They don't have them here, you know, in DCUM land.[/quote]

We have them

Those are for high schooler in trouble with the law, not mentally ill kindergarteners.[/quote]
