Well, no. The mother had the gun in the house that the child used. Thankfully the mother is now in jail and the administrator is facing charges still…The craziest thing out of all this is…The student was not charged with wrongdoing and is reportedly in the care of a relative and enrolled at a different school.
This is a perfect example of the noncentral fallacy. When you say ‘school shooter’ what comes to mind is a sixteen year old sociopath murdering a dozen people in a planned terrorist attack, not a six year old who is incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions.
Mental facilities really aren’t very good. He will have a better chance of turning his life around while living in a home, with a family, and recieving mental health therapy.
Wow, you are scum to write off a child’s entire life like that. Yeah, you’re definitely an American “Christian conservative” (quoting another of your comments from elsewhere). I’m writing you off - it’s a shame you didn’t get the same treatment you’re advocating when you were a kid.
Housing in a “mental facility” (at least here in the US) would make that outcome all but certain. The kid needs regular assessment and help from professionals, sure. With a loving home and safe caregivers through the rest of childhood it will be possible for him to recover and reconcile with his actions, so I hope that’s what he’s getting.
Well… yes? Did you read the article? Or the thread you’re replying to?
There are two court cases here (as you seem to understand…) - a civil case against the school, which awarded monetary damages to the teacher (as civil cases often do), and a criminal case against the mother, which awarded prison time (as criminal cases often do). Quite literally, as I stated in the post you replied to, the monetary damages she’s collecting are because the school administrator didn’t do her job. The prison time the mother is serving is because she had an unsecured firearm in her house that the child used. They’re two different things.
That’s a convenient thought to absolve the mother.
While the administrator carries responsibility for the lack of action, they did not shape the child’s mind nor circumstance that led to this situation in the first place.
It’s not absolving the mother of anything. This is a civil case against the school specifically because the administrator did not do their job. There was a separate, criminal case against the mother, which came with its own penalties.
Well, no. She’s collecting tax payer dollars because a school administrator didn’t do anything when told that the child might have a gun.

Well at least you understand and acknowledge that being a Christian Conservative is bad and that it’s an insult to be called such

It often stings a LOT, but I can see why you wouldn’t know that considering your obvious disdain for it.

The point was that it’s a shame the taxpayer is on the hook for this. Not that the mother is solely at fault and the administrator isn’t.
