Parental involvement being a factor demonstrated here.
These kids need be in school.
Thats their job and the parents need to enforce that.
That is their job.
Interviews is not their job.
They are children and have no say in S#!T
Juvenile delinquents RULE the schools and they should be outraged at their school’s discipline code and screaming about that. Nikolas Cruz was never busted at school because of the new 2013 NAACP collaborative discipline policy:
Broward County’s School Discipline ‘Agreement” signed by the Sheriff, State Atty and local judges.

“Go ahead kids. Smoke pot, booze it up, fight, THREATEN a teacher and tear the bloody place up! The NAACP & Broward schools & sheriff got your back. Since your family has failed, a sanctuary program for criminal youth continues at your school.
These are young kids. I can remember how I thought at that age. First, I reacted. Emotionally. I rebelled. I was full of angst. I knew better than grown-ups. So, I feel for them.
The difference is that I HAD grown-ups in my life. They were everywhere. They explained a bigger picture than I saw. They explained right and wrong, good and bad. I had the advantage of exposure to views not centered on ME and what I demanded.
I would have demanded to be interviewed on tv - my family would have put their collective foot down with a resounding NO.
"Yeah, I'll be at work tomorrow, maybe. Unless I need to talk to the press. I'm very important, you know."
Oh well. To be 18 again and be positive that you know everything.
