[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book is really well done. And, it will give any parent pause. Obviously, she portrays her family in a very different light and we of course are left with questions and our own judgments as human beings. But, I do believe that she was a good mother. The things that you think she knew (hate speech, swastikas, the guns) , I'm convinced that she didn't. She was in complete denial about her son's involvement until she saw the 'basement tapes' made by her son and Eric Harris.

I have great empathy for all involved including the Klebold and Harris families. Yes, it is possible that your heart can break for all of the victims. [/quote]

Please describe your idea of a "good parent". 
Existing in a bubble, disconnected from your child?

I think she was very naive, but I think there were things she didn't want to see:

Columbine was really a watershed moment in gun violence.  Yet in terms of access and availability of mental health services or restriction on gun sales, there's nothing to show for all the pain that the families of the victims endured.  None for the families for the theatre shootings,Virginia Tech, Newtown...the things change the more they stay the same :([/quote]
Excuses, excuses. You said she was a "good parent", but fail to say what you mean by that. Thanks.[/quote]
