[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn’t the school MAKE them take him home? [/quote]

They can't. He might be "in a certain situation" (before all this), which gives him more "protections" and his parents have more say, if they know the loopholes.

Also, 4th Amendment -  schools can't just search and seize property.  Same reason Langley and other high schools got rid of lockers. Not worth the hassle with bad kids and their bad parents.

As we have seen here, where do you think these kids learn their behaviors?[/quote]

1) they had reasonable suspicion to search backpack
2)even without a search, they could have should have notified police, made a report, and had the kid brought home (for to a psych hospital).  But they school didn’t because the parents were being a PIA and they thought it would just be easier to send him back to class than to poke a hornets nest (the ahole parents)[/quote]

The PARENTS should have insisted on searching the backpack. If I’m sitting in a principals office with my husband and kid, having this discussion about disturbing drawings, my first thought would be….mmmmm… and hubby bought junior a gun, just four days ago. Sweetie I’m fine if you want to stay at school today but let’s just look in your backpack and make sure nothing is there that shouldn’t be. And if he refuses to open it? Well, we do have a problem

How hard is this, [b]for parents who are rational and connected to their kids[/b]?[/quote]

It isn’t hard but these aren’t those parents. These parents likely helped him plan his attack. They bought the weapon. They knew he was searching ammo. They insisted he stay on school after being shown his drawings. You could say that by doing those things at school where a teacher could see, [b]the student might have been crying out for help. I think his parents helped him plan it and possibly convinced or coerced him  to do it. [/b][/quote]

Nailed it.  I absolutely believe this.  There were parents in our school like this - kid had anger issues, parent was triggered, parent taught kid to be triggered and violent. Powder keg waiting to explode. Instead of getting the kid professional help, the parent thought it would be "cool" to teach the violent kid how to physically hurt other students. Big family, too. I can only imagine the powder keg that is that family and their house (not home, house). For some parents, it's all about them - like how this couple fled and left the shooter behind. Rational and connected people don't think like them or understand how selfish some people are. [/quote]
