There was a rumor at my school that a student was making some kind of threat. The investigation involved the police and the parents and making sure the student did not have access to a weapon and searching locker and backpack. Nothing came of it. While I don't have all the information about the Michigan shooting, it seems like maybe the school could have prevented it.
The wash post has interesting details about why in this case it makes sense to charge the parents, too.

Also, the school really screwed up by not searching his backpack the morning of the shooting.
ReplyDeleteYes the school bears some of the responsibility, though these parents were terrible, especially the Father.
ReplyDeleteWhy I always blame the gun owner for not adequately securing the weapons.

Why do you keep picking on the school?
ReplyDeleteYou are starting to sound like Jerry. :-O
I predict that parents of the shooting victims will sue the school for negligence and win a settlement. If I was one of the parents I would sue.
ReplyDeleteI am certain they will sue the district and everyone who has deep pockets.
ReplyDeleteIt is the American way...
In most cases I would not sue the school, but in this case, where they failed to search the backpack, that is a huge and deadly mistake.
ReplyDeleteHumans are prone to errors, especially when the parent(s) neglect to mention that they just bought their minor a gun.
