[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of denial on display here, and I can understand why. It's hard to imagine that a kid who was raised in a loving family, who had two involved parents, who seemed - for the most part - 'normal' - could be involved in such a horrific event. That's why her book is so valuable. She doesn't shirk responsibility, I don't see how you can read her book and get that. Eric and Dylan had two different diagnoses - there's consensus on that. The combination was the problem. And, as I have posted before, they didn't just fool their parents, they fooled law enforcement and therapists, teachers and counselors. Eric actually did scare someone - and she reported it repeatedly to law enforcement (Brooks' mom), but they didn't follow up. [/quote]

Eric's father was keeping a list of all of the trouble his son had been getting into.  I don't know that his parents were denying that their kid had a major problem.  Eric was taking anger management classes...surely there was a reason for that.  I have not read all of the reports and I only have the most surface layer of the details but there was a heck of a lot going on with that kid.  He was disturbed.  And people knew and recognized that he was disturbed.

The parents (not sure if it was Dylan's or Eric's) had apparently caught the boys with their bomb making equipment....there was a lot of holy sh*t moments with those two.  And apparently the solution was to back off saying to yourself "I didn't see that, I didn't see that, I didn't see that..."
