Still, I think this father and the kid’s mother should be in adjacent jail cells with their son, charged as accessories.
Parents need to start being held more responsible for things their children do.
So? I was harassed and bullied, and while I did lash out by hitting the kid bullying me, I never decided to solve my bullies with my mother’s kitchen knives or my father’s guns.
The parents should be held criminally responsible.
The father is a lot like one of the Columbine fathers - who refused to accept responsibility for his son. It leads you to want to know more about his so-called fathering (and mothering) skills. Have we heard from the mother?
If a child is being mistreated at school to this extent, why on earth would a parent continue to send him to school? Courses can be done on-line at home. I suggest the father doesn’t actually know, but bullying seems to be the go-to reason these days. I want to know how long the kid has been on mind-altering medication.
> Parents need to start being held more responsible for things their children do.
Such as bullying other kids to the point of mass murdering rampages.
I don’t know...by all accounts the family seems normal. I think thi s kid just snapped.
“.....father and the kid’s mother should be in adjacent jail cells with their son, charged as accessories.”........
Would you care to explain your statement?
Keep saying that.... until you have an uncontrollable juvenile delinquent for a child, and the authorities do NOTHING.
In all of these incidents of children killing children, I never seem to see any reference to any religious affillation by the shooters or their families. Therefore I am assuming there is none. Do these families have any visible relationship with God? Is the lack of such a common thread in all of these events?
Perhaps if they had put “In God we trust” into practice, their child and themselves could have been spared. We did and we drove to school with guns hanging on racks in the rear window of our trucks and parked in the school parking lot. It never crossed our minds to shoot any human being.
Why? In our homes and at church we were taught what Jesus said.
“Love the Lord with all thy heart, mind and soul, and love thy neighbor as thyself.” If we abide by these two commandments then the other eight become moot. The one about thy shalt not kill is not in play.
Bullying doesn’t start suddenly when a kid is in high school. It begins when they are little. Usually, the kids are a little different and other kids make them outcasts and they stay that way, so it becomes a way of life. It starts with maybe being called a booger picker when they are five and escalates, they face it every day of their lives, afraid to walk down a hall, into a room. They also hide it, because they feel guilt for letting it happen to them, not fighting back, running from the bullies. It is a heinous abuse cycle and calling it being bullied is ridiculous. It Is domestic abuse and the schools are culpable, they know who the outcast are and they know who the abusers are, they do nothing.
It’s a little late for dad to be Monday morning quarterbacking.
The fault lays with dad. How could he be so out of touch with his own son?
“Still, I think this father and the kid’s mother should be in adjacent jail cells with their son, charged as accessories.
Parents need to start being held more responsible for things their children do.”
In the 50’s & 60’s this could be a very true statement. Back then a whole host of things never existed, such as ADHD, drive by shootings, abortion on demand etc. Today with social media, leftist government programs, education, the MSM, Hollywood and the surrounding culture that kids grow up in have more influence than the parents. Add to this where in some states social services will intervene when parents actually try to do something.
Your statement is DATED!
The ones that should be in jail are democrats and those that vote democrat, RINO’s and voters that never stood up to the dems.
One thing’s for sure — the NRA didn’t bully him.
The girl sweet talked a jock into roughing him up
Not justification, just a reality script
Ahh, here come the liberal excuses... He was bullied. The guns did it.
There is such a thing as defending family, there is showing love for your children, but anything other than total condemnation for walking into a school (or anywhere) and randomly killing people is just enabling the next rampage.
The father would not be mentioning bullying had his son gotten drunk and rammed a car into a school bus.
I wouldn’t be too hard in this guy. His life suddenly became a living hell and will probably remain so for a very long time.
And who made “bullying” such a big deal that it is now an excuse for murdering people? You’re friendly commie lib “Democrats”.
And what crime did the parents commit?
Your idea smacks of group punishment and is a relic of primitive, non Western cultures.
The father is likely correct in part about the causes. Doesn’t mitigate the judgment of the law. People are going to have to quit abusing others and then taking away all recourse from them. Otherwise this will continue to happen.
