[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  the complete lack of compassion for this woman is astounding to me.  None of you were there, none of you really know what happened.  But you are all so ready to judge.  I am guessing none of you should be throwing stones from your glass houses.[/quote]

And you were there?  Explain how this involved mother was so completely unaware that her son had bombs and guns in his room and was best buds with a psychopath (same guy he got arrested with before).

I feel bad for her in the sense that I really do not believe that she thought that her son would ever do anything THAT bad....but is it sad that she pretty much knew nothing about what her son was up to in the year before this massacre took place?  Yeah, that is really sad for a parent to be so out of touch with her kid.  Sorry.

NP.  Good questions. Am also waiting for an explanation....[/quote]

NP here.  An explanation for what? You seem to think you know the answer.  She's an awful parent. Is that what you want to hear, Mr./Ms. Smug?

Not this pp, but why do you think Ms. Klebold deserves sympathy?  Do you think that the mistakes that the Klebolds made were inevitable and would have happened to any parent?  Do you disagree that this tragedy could have been prevented if the parents had simply been more tuned in to what their kids were doing?  [/quote]

I am not the pp you are referring to, but, we are having a book discussion. Have you read the book? Have you read the profile in Andrew Soloman's book? Have you read any of the books on Columbine. It is pretty clear you are opining based on sound bites you have heard and your own perceptions about parenting teens (that I'm guessing are not based on any practical experience). Do some reading. Come back. Thanks.[/quote]

If Susan had only admitted she didn't know her child, and should have taken the time to do that, I'd have some respect for her.
