If the evidence laid out by the prosecutor are true, they're in deep chit.
Them and the school both.
The kid was caught searching for ammunition online the day before and referred to the office. In of itself a typically BS referral spawned by paranoia. School internet servers typically block all weapons-related sites, even legit hunting and shooting sites. Maybe he was on his phone or using it’s hotspot.
But the drawing for which the parents were called in? A gun, a person shot, the words “blood everywhere”, “The thoughts won’t stop, help me”. Looking at the stuff he posted, and the transformation from the goofy Poindexter Middle School kid he was to the evil-faced murderer at 15, ya could even make a case for demonic possession.
Yep, the kid should have been at least called in and held for counseling right away, maybe they had planned to do that later that day.
The story says the parents insisted he be left at school, I dunno what the legal constraints were on the Admin at that point.
And, law enforcement wasn't called and NOBODY at the school or the parents thought to search the kid, his backpack and locker for a weapon. Then they send the kid back to class? Damn...
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
