Columbine Parents Speak. Reaction

Tweet

Its been about 10 years since that horrific day when those shootings took place. Finally, after all thsoe years the mother of one of the kids have finally spoke out. I can understand the delay in the comments because what can anyone really say when you can't understand why your son did such a horrific act. I think for the ten years since the incident it was the right time to come out and finally explain what happened. Finally explain what you really knew about your sons involvement in it. My big thing was how could you not know what this kid was thinking. I think it goes to show that parents have to take more time out for their kids and get involved with their life. The apology was nice, however I feel you should have done this sooner. Also, I am glad to know she is not doing any talk shows because honestly, she doesn't deserve any money to make a guest appearance. Her son has caused a stain in school systems all over the U.S and has been the foundation for others to try similiar acts. I'd also like to focus on what these kids were willing to accomplish. Not only did they take part in this horrific school shooting incident in school, but they really paved the way for the other school shootings and incidents in other school systems. The "copy cat" incidents all stemmed from these kids. You could really almost go out and say that these kids are responsible for many of the deaths that have occurred due to school shootings. It may be unfair, but I call it like it is. At the end of the day this incident comes down to bad parenting. Before this whole thing even happened, these kids were planning it for weeks. How do you not get involved in your kids life to know what your doing. My parents where always there asking questions and trying to stay involved (for me a little too much but thats another story) and always knew where I was. These had guns and made explosives. How do you not know? How do you not know that your kid is suicidal? I'm not making fun of the kid or anything, but his hobbies where origami and legos which is basically a solo activity. Why not encourage the kid to get out there and try to make some friends. If he isn't a sports player then tell him to go join music group or drama. Believe me if a kid is suicidal you can tell. If they had done a better job staying involved in the kids life and knew what he was doing or where he was this could have been avoided. What is your opinion on the mother finally speaking out and what are your feelings toward this incident that has remained a huge stain on American history.
