A neighbor told me that they lived very close to this school before they relocated to our area and that they knew a few kids who went to the school. They're pretty shook up. Lucy, you’re right, it is very frightening–and sad.

I raised a sociopath. I remember fighting to keep him confined. I was told that he "did not have a mental illness, but a personality disorder and if he killed someone, the criminal court would deal with that." I commented that that wouldn't make whoever he killed any less dead. But, the facility psychiatrist felt that since no meds would help, and he was nice and polite, that he deserved to be free. <br /> <br /> Every time one of these mass killings happen, I think about the killers parents. I wonder how many knew. I wonder how many fought for help and were turned away.<br /> <br /> It's rather scary to think about.<br /> <br /> Lucy Services are a big issue. I raised a sociopath.

It’s rather scary to think about.

It was a very sad case of a foster child being shot by another student in the classroom. Once again, the proper services were not in place to protect the victims (and there are many).

It really shakes me because I'm currently attending the University of New Mexico, which has about 30,000 students and a very similar layout like the most recent college. I don't like to think about the what "if's" but they do happen to cross my mind when there really is no telling if or when something like this is going to happen. My prayers are with yours.
