Upon watching GMA this morning, I was listening to the story about the teen in Florida who has been arrested for plotting to bomb a high school on the first day of classes. This boy had apparently been expelled from school towards the end of the last school year, and had not registered for classes this year.
Where are his parents? Pictures of him drinking, smoking marijuana, and posting very troubling quotes on Facebook were shown. This kid is 17, many would think of him as an adult, but he is still a child. I am 34, and by no means was I a GROWN UP at 17. I was mature for my age, yes, but knowing what I know now....I was a kid. Where are the adults responsible for teaching and guiding this troubled child? Somewhere, somehow, something went wrong for him, horribly wrong....and who is going to be held responsible for THAT?!?! He was planning on killing 32 people, including 2 principals....he had his agenda figured out. He knew some time ago what he was going to do, and to whom. When in his life, did his brain flip that switch to thinking that THIS is the way to deal with people in the world that you don't agree with, or that come down on you for something. This child was failed somewhere along the way....
Thank God someone came forward and gave the police an anonymous tip....they should be able to sleep a little better tonight...too bad they couldn't make a difference earlier, maybe they tried, who knows. What a sad life this kid has.
