[quote=Anonymous][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?

[b]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.  [/b]

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