[QUOTE="witzend, post: 314734, member: 99"] I always felt awful for them and for the other parents of these children. I felt less bad for the parents of the boy in Oregon who did this, because his father bought him guns and terminated therapy in spite of trouble with the law, an unusual interest with guns and bombs, and multiple experts who said he needed therapy at an earlier sentencing hearing. Of course, he killed his parents, so... But I think many of us here know the fear of turning on the news and seeing our child's school or hangout spot with our child at the center of some madness. I think that at least this mother did what she could to help her son. We're given a partial recipe with our children, with missing ingredients we can only guess at. I was horrified that those two boys were left out of any of the memorials. They died, too. They had potential. Someone loved them. Do I understand why the community hates them? Yes. Does that make their loss any less valid? I don't think so. I don't know how she went on with her life. I would have left Columbine, changed my name, and never returned. [/QUOTE]
