Is a 6th grader an 11-year old kid in the USA? did he/she hand this page in to a teacher -I am guessing given the message "Be prepared b+tch"- at his/her school? I cannot open the link to read it myself
Thanks.
https://www.local10.com/news/crime/...ing-note-threatening-to-shoot-up-davie-schoolDavie police said the 11-year-old girl placed the handwritten note under the assistant principal's office door...
She also provided a written confession, officers said.
In her written confession, the student claimed that another girl ordered her to put the note under the door to the assistant principal's office or she would get her friend to fight her.
Mental health treatment is part of good parenting and generally undertaken with genuine concern and love, so yes. I agree his parents got him some help. That being said, if I was his mom I would have been monitoring his SM, and he would not have had a gun, a gun cabinet, or a key.
I think the school took disciplinary action as they would with any problematic child. Safeguards were definitely good measures to keep him functioning in the school environment with restrictions but were ultimately ineffective. Expulsion basically just made him somebody else's problem, and the FBI dropped the ball.
We need terroristic threat laws with bigger teeth. They have them in Texas. I know they have had them in the schools here for over 15 years.
If the family knew he was in treatment even one year ago, then the death of his Mother, why would there ever be any access to deadly firearms? Did they resign themselves to not being interested in his SM, friends or hobbies? Did they share any family or holiday meals or activities with him?
Not blaming this family, as I am sure there were not many people available that would have taken him in knowing he was unstable.
I'd like to see an active shooter drill done when congressional leaders are in session. Only, they wouldn't know it's just a drill. They're sitting there, completely sure they are safe because of all the safety measures in those buildings. Then suddenly, a recording of loud automatic fire starts cracking. Over and over.
They would be terrified and there would be chaos. And then maybe they'd realize how terrifying it is to potentially be a target when you're just going about your everyday routine.
I'm a special ed para at a high school. I attend general ed classes with students. Today we had a conversation in the "Global Issues" class. No matter how the young adults identified with certain political views they all agreed this was an impossible situation for everyone except the shooter. In the panic and cahos around them it was too easy for NC to be absorbed by the crowd during his escape. No one had the presence of mind to really see what was happening around them. No one thinks it's ever going to really happen to them. They wondered aloud... If the LEO did get to a point where he saw NC would he have taken a shot with all of the students running around him?A security guard was tipped off as NC was putting the gun together or shortly after the gun was put together AND there was an armed LE official on the school campus and NC still managed this much catastrophic damage. Awful.
I honestly think it was more of a "hey mom, my buddy's mom just died. he doesn't get along with the family he's living with, and he's 18 so he can leave if he wants. Is it cool if he stays with us for a while?" type of thing. Maybe the parents felt bad for their child's friends because he was now an orphan, so they agreed to let him stay there as long as he got a job and was planning to move out after he saved up enough money to get his own place. He moved in with that family after Thanksgiving, so he had not been staying there for very long. Maybe the parents saw him moving in the rifle and told him he couldn't keep it in their house unless he bought a gun safe the gun in there. This is all just my opinion, obviously.

Arrived in an Uber
WTH? I mean... did the Uber driver not find it odd that some guy carrying a long rifle asked to be dropped off at a school?
