Yes, you've read that right. Now I've heard everything. Remember the teen that was arrested not too long ago in South Carolina because he was plotting to bomb his school? Well more information has surfaced on his behavior. Apparently, he told the Feds, he wanted to bomb his school, die and go to heaven so he could kill Jesus. You can read the article here :http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/04/29/teen.charged.ap/index.html What do you think about this teen? Honestly, I think he has a lot of psychological problems that hopefully can be addressed now that he has been caught and charged before he was actually able to harm anyone else. There is no excuse for what he wanted to do, but because he may have some kind of problem, let's hope it can be addressed so he does not think about harming anyone else again.

This is just insane. I can't believe he actually said that. He needs definite psychological attention. I can't believe his parents didn't realize this sooner but I'm thankful that they did catch him though. But his story and reason is just crazy.

You know I'm all for parents giving their teens space. But sometimes I kind of wish parents would be a bit nosier. It's not always the parents fault, no way. People are responsible for their own choices. But surely they noticed him withdrawing. I saw go find his journal and read it!

On one hand I say crazy for sure, on the other hand, could he be saying this stuff to cop a plea of insanity and get off lighter? But something that would put him in the crazy category is the fact that he had the explosives delivered to his home. Did he not think there was a huge possibility of his parents answering the door and taking the packages? So I'm kind of leaning towards crazy. I don't know that this is a fixable kind either. I don't think being in an institution for a couple years will do the trick. It is scary to think he may be only in prison for a while. I believe in second chances, but he had such vile intentions I don't know if a person can come back from that.

This teen truly needs help. I mean real help. He must hate Jesus for a reason maybe something happened to him and he asked Jesus to help him and when he didn't he got angry and now wants to take revenge. He also must not be aware of all the heavenly rules. Because if he had done what he wanted it wouldn't be heaven he be going to it would be a place way farther south and I ain't talking Floridaeither.

Wow I actually think I heard about this. Actually the only part that I heard was about a mom calling the police about a package that her son had gotten, but after that I stopped listening. But now that I read this whole story I am schocked. I can't believe this kid was about to do that and less say crazy stuff like that. I am glad that he was caught in time and nothing bad happened to the students at the school. He needs to get help quickly because he has got serious problems.

i think that you're right that this teen does have a lot of Psychological issues going on with him. did he actually think that he would die and go to Heaven for real after he killed all of those people at his school and including his-self? What a Freak on a leash! Dude needs to be placed in a mental institution and be locked up for many years away from the world. He's about as bad as that Damn osama bin laden. and yes, i didn't capital his name. because the @sshole doesn't deserve the capital letters. LOL

That was some scary stuff to hear about. Knowing my child goes to school and millions of others and your not knowing if it could be your child's school next that's threatened by some kid that wants to bomb it. That teen had some seriouse mental issues and needs to see a psiciatrist. It must of been hard for his parents to turn him in but ya know they did the right thing. I still can't get over the fact he wanted to die but take others w/ him just so he could go to heaven to kill Jesus. I'm glad he was stopped befor it got any worse.

that is really scary... if he wants to die, go to heaven and kill Jesus, why he has to bring other people with him by killing other people as well??? and what makes him think that he will go to heaven and meet Jesus after he commited such a serious sin??? crazy!!! yes, i think he got a mental problem and has to be put in a mental institution until he recovered...
