Agreed. I have doubts that the drawing of the shooting that brought the parents to school that day to discuss it, was the first indication that something was wrong. But the obliviousness of parents these days is amazing.

What utterly astounds me is that the kid was allowed to stay in school and his back pack was not searched. As I stated earlier, the school needs investigating & was almost as liable as the parents.
