[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read it and I have also read Columbine. In addition, I'm a mental health professional and mother of teens. I found the book to be very moving, honest and painful. Sue K. accepts responsibility for what she and her husband missed; but you can see how easy it would be to miss what they did. She blames herself for not paying close enough attention but Dylan, and especially Eric, fooled many people including teachers, counselors and law enforcement. The Klebolds seemed like a very loving family who just didn't get how seriously depressed their child was. Put yourself in their place - the kid was going to college and had just gone happily to the prom. What would you have suspected? [/quote]

I could have written this exactly, except instead of being a mental health professional, I'm a HS teacher who has worked with literally thousands of adolescents over decades.  We'd all like to to believe otherwise, but the reality is that good parents can have children who do terrible things.  [/quote]
