[quote=Anonymous]The way I read the story was that the day of the shooting was the first day that the parent wasn’t scheduled to attend with the child — as if it was a planned step down of that accommodation.  If that’s the case, it’s crazy to me that an aide wasn’t placed in the classroom for at least a transitional period.  You don’t remove a support like that all of a sudden with no scaffolding.

I’m also wondering about the trigger lock on the gun.  I don’t know how those work but it sounded like he needed to steal his mom’s key to unlock it?  Is it a physical key?

I also wonder if the child was adopted from an orphanage or severely abusive home — its just so unusual to have a child this disturbed at this young an age that I suspect there is some story of deep trauma there, or a physical injury to the brain.  I initially assumed the home itself was abusive but if the parents were invested enough to be attending school daily, that seems less likely.

The school made so many bad decisions here.[/quote]
