That kid wasn’t bullied. He was probably ignored and ostracized because kids can TELL when someone is “off.” They can’t verbalize why but they know the dangerous kids and they avoid them for self preservation. These kids aren’t bullied. They ARE the bullies.

His parents will probably blame: screens, school closures, bullying, CRT. It’s just their kid. And them.

-high school teacher

This is what happens when a parent thinks it is okay to retaliate for alleged bullying. What the selfish, projecting parent does not consider or care about is well, anyone else.

They seemed perfectly okay with their child hurting so endlessly and hopelessly; the school calling (fighting them instead of complying by getting their child and bringing him home). I also think they knew he had the gun, or at least knew there was a strong possibility he had the gun in his backpack, and didn't care.

They taught him to "hide" what he was up to - just like they do. Optics, optics, optics.

Sickening.

They were due for arraignment on Friday. They did not show up. It is not optional.

P.S. Remind us again what they needed $4K in cash for?

How far are you going to go on $4,000?

They were not found at home. They were found in Detroit in a warehouse.

At about 6 minutes in, the county prosecutor exposes herself to be a political hack railroading the parents. The parents failed to inspect his backpack? No, the school failed to inspect his backpack. The parents are certainly at fault, but so is the high school. And the school district is going to be sued probably as early as next week, likely class action.

The school didn't know he owned a damn gun because his idiot parents bought it for him.


I agree that they should have checked the backpack.i think they just couldn't imagine this kid actually had a gun.

Not only should they have checked the backpack but they should have escorted the student out of the school and called law enforcement.

Guarantee the parents fought it and threatened the school. I know from experience.

And in our district, if any kid mentions self harm, they are immediately pulled from class, parents called and sent home. They can't return without getting psychological help and being cleared for return l.

The school district dropped the ball.

As a teen I engaged in self harm for some time (never at all related to violence towards others). Guidance got wind of it at one point, my parents had to come in, pick me up and bring me directly to a psychologist (or psychiatrist, I don’t know, this was high school). More than a decade ago. There was no option for my parents to say no. I don’t understand what happened in this school

I am sorry that happened to you, and glad you are better now.

These parents look for loopholes - think about it - this kid has been in trouble for a while. They learn early and often what they can get away with, and there was no discipline in the house (ie: "just don't get caught" is a common sentiment in this type of family). Only concerned with themselves. They basically left their kid there and ran. We really should not be surprised.

Nothing says “not on the run” like hiding in the basement of a warehouse.

Exactly! They were in the commercial district of Detroit in the middle of the night, the New York Times says. No one in their right mind goes there at that time.

This is one shady as f@ck couple.

Yup. Always looking for loopholes for their treacherous behaviors, and teaching the kid the same. Gross.

I think it’s weird that this white couple from the rural’ish exurbs run & hide in an industrial block adjacent to some run-down African American neighborhoods in central Detroit. They would stick out like a sore thumb in that area. Wtf.

Further than 40 miles back to their hometown for arraignment as their lawyer claimed, that's for damn sure.
