[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I def think the kid was strongly influenced negatively by parents who were nightmares and both contributed to this tragedy.  FOR SURE.

But I think the kid in surrendering fairly easy prob did it to get attention as horrible and wrong as it is.  The dad messed up most by buying him a weapon as a gift (WTF?!!) but the mom not being there and having a loss of stability in both parents equally messed up - definitely this is not all on the boy but on everyone around him.  Sounds also like he was bullied by other kids.

As the poster child of a dysfunctional family myself, it's really really hard to come out of it in one piece.  Esp in these times with guns, social media, etc.  I can see how that kid was so messed up he didn't know where he was.  No excuse and the parents 10000% for sure need to be punished but on some level, this was a tragedy more than what happened at the school and a tragedy for that entire family living the way they were.[/quote]

This kid was practically raising himself. It's like he was feral or something. It's so awful, and he never stood a chance. Is it only the sperm donor being charged? I know he's the one who purchased the gun, but I don't understand why the egg donor isn't being charged.[/quote]

We don't know what she did.  It is not against the law to be a drug addict or a bad parent.[/quote]

I understand that. But he's being charged with cruelty to children, and I wondered if that also related to anything she participated in. She sounds horrible. You think she wasn't complicit in this?[/quote]
The charges may be for cruelty to the children his child murdered.[/quote]

I wonder if this could pave the way to a precedent for the right of safety being equal to or greater than the right to gun ownership. I've wondered if this is the right way to fight the reluctance of politicians to protect children WHO CANNOT VOTE. [/quote]
