Given the severity of the pending felony charges, MCPS will almost certainly place him in an alternative setting or expel him rather than send him back to Whitman.

If the expel him, where would he go to school? A special MCPS?

If he’s expelled, the district must still provide schooling, typically through:
An alternative education program run by MCPS (separate site, stricter structure)
A nonpublic special education or therapeutic placement if there are significant mental health needs
In some cases, virtual or home-based instruction on a temporary basis

The fact that this kid knew the name means that he was into some deeply f'ed up stuff online.

I'm older but I've remembered the name Adam Lanza since the day it happened. Helps that he has the same last name as a buddy of mine.

Right. You're older. He is 16 (which is identified in the press release). He was two when this happened.

That press release was before an arrest was made. It’s now known quite a bit about the student and where he is presently.

In other states and jurisdictions one would not have to comb and scan. It would make the news, photos and all, of the alleged perp(s). This jurisdiction, and much of MD, hides this information from the public.

By definition, pretty much any kid that burns down a shed and writes this kind of graffiti has mental health issues. This seems like a cry for help from someone who is pretty messed up. It’s sad it’s a kid.

He needs a hug.

No, he needs a lot more than that. He might need inpatient care, and/or medication, and/or a different home situation. Maybe none of that would help. None of us know. But I think it’s clear that he didn’t do this for personal gain (like robbing a jewelry store) or for any rational reason (like getting out of a test). He did it because he’s messed up. I live nearby and had told my kids not to go to the park adjacent to the school, even when I thought it was an adult, because I assumed it was a mentally ill person stalking the school.

I mean, this kid terrorized an elementary school, frightened kids and parents, and committed arson. I think it's reasonable that the community is curious.

You know an arrest was made. That seems to be all the information that anyone actually needs. Unless we plan on organizing a lynch mob.

It happened less than 24 hours ago. Give it a day or so.

He’s a minor. I’m sure this info is limited in terms of what is available to the general public.

Other juvenile's are posted and listed as "juvenile". There are no juvenile's listed for 4/15, however there are several on 4/14. I don't think any are this person because the address are in Germantown.
