very true Metmom, I think with 'some' of the teenagers who have committed or tried commit these crimes have done some talking. But, the police office (who did a fine job with the reporting) mentioned it is not unusual for these individuals to lead double lives and internalize it.
I will pray for continued protection over all our children and peace for their families. I will pray for peace for everyone as we tried to sort this out.
Hindsight. We can look back now and see signs that COULD have tipped someone off, but still people do odd things occasionally and the vast majority don't go over the edge like this. You can't lock up EVERYONE who acts a little strange or moody once in a while.
IMO, there is really not much that anyone could have done to prevent this. It's just a matter of picking up the pieces and moving on and seeing what wwe can learn from it.
