NEW YORK In their first interview since the Columbine High School massacre, the parents of one of the killers said they feel no need be forgiven and didn't realize their son was beyond hope until after he was dead.
"Dylan (Klebold) did not do this because of the way he was raised," Susan Klebold told columnist David Brooks in Saturday's editions of The New York Times. "He did it in contradiction to the way he was raised."
Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 13 people on April 20, 1999, before taking their own lives.
The couple took issue with people who say they forgive them for what happened.
"I haven't done anything for which I need forgiveness," Susan Klebold said.
They acknowledged they missed signs that their son was in trouble. Klebold and Harris were in a juvenile diversion program for breaking into a van and stealing tools and other items in January 1998.

Since then I have heard of at least three other kids being bullied by this same child. This little brat has even exposed himself and went so far as to rub his penis on one little boy in the restroom during a potty break. Note that this kid had also exposed himself to my son as well and no action was taken when my son told on him.
While my son was having a hard time with this kid and trying to do the right thing I noticed his frustration level was up, he had a stomach ache every morning and didn't want to go to school, was angry a lot and so on. Since he took care of the problem himself with a solid right punch to the other kid's jaw that put the little devil TreShawn on his rear end, his confidence has been restored and his other "symptoms" have disappeared. He also has had no more problems with this bully.
BTW, my son wants to be a cop too, lol. He is costing me a fortune in cap guns and plastic handcuffs and I am tired of being "arrested" every day.
Cluelessness and denial can be such comforting things . . . to a point, for a while.
People who have nothing to apologize for should not be goaded,coerced, and browbeaten into apologizing for apologizings sake.
I'm sorry you cannot understand that.
I'm sorry too.
