“Still, I think this father and the kid’s mother should be in adjacent jail cells with their son, charged as accessories.
Parents need to start being held more responsible for things their children do.”
In the 50’s & 60’s this could be a very true statement. Back then a whole host of things never existed, such as ADHD, drive by shootings, abortion on demand etc. Today with social media, leftist government programs, education, the MSM, Hollywood and the surrounding culture that kids grow up in have more influence than the parents. Add to this where in some states social services will intervene when parents actually try to do something.
Your statement is DATED!
The ones that should be in jail are democrats and those that vote democrat, RINO’s and voters that never stood up to the dems.

We are forgetting something here. I call it “reverse bullying.” Back then a bully would harass a student, they both wind up in the principals office for a talk. Eventually it hits the schoolyard, there is a fight and it’s pretty much done with. Especially if the bully gets beaten up.
Now the bullies are being bullied by the Social Justice Warrior system. So it isn’t just a student. The victims turned out to be the bullies and the have students of various victim groups, the teachers, the administration and the district behind them. Someone being bullied in this environment has no where to turn for relief.
With little to no help from anyone, the student either leaves school, commits suicide or reasserts his status by going on a rampage, which is what we are seeing now.
Then let’s also talk about the dynamics of parents who have a child who is a social outcast. Maybe they know it, maybe they don’t becsue the kids hide it from them. Many parents like that because let’s be real, every parent wants a popular, sociallly successful child. Accepting the fact their child is not accepted is hard.
As we know evil exists and I remember a little girl I grew up with. She was a nasty, vicious little witch from first grade to the last day of school. I look back and she was so mean to other kids, I can still see her evil looks to this day. She was a popular kid, mostly because All were terrified of her and one definitely did t want to be in her crosshairs. I was one day, ironically at summer bible school when I was about ten. I won’t go into the details but I remember l literally was seeing red. I was terrified, but what I remember the most was my intense hatred and anger.
