I feel very bad for them but this has to be one very messed up family situation. Their kid was throwing out signals to everyone who had come into contact with him over the past several months and yet they appear to have been clueless. Maybe they were thinking if they just ignore everything somehow it will all work out.
His mugshot posted today is one of the most disturbing photos I’ve ever seen.
While the kid bears the legal responsibility criminally, if this story is accurate, the parents bear a civil responsibility for the lives lost, too. Clearly, this family was dysfunctional more than most.
“Maybe they were thinking if they just ignore everything somehow it will all work out.”
BINGO- sadly
Not to mention living with a child/manchild like this who drains away your hope, your life purpose, your energy - leaves a paralyzing depression.
The satanic face in that mug shot plus his inappropriate outbursts of laughter, rambling, red face and clenched fists in the class room make me think this monster needed an exorcist instead of a shrink.
