So many hammers searching for nails.

And, they usually execute the person they were supposed to be assisting. THAT is what needs to change most of all... we need agencies that are equipped and trained to handle this type of domestic issue. NOT the gung-ho Chuck Norris wannabes who are looking for any excuse to establish their 'authoritai' over anyone who does not fall prone when they arrive on the scene.

Just my opinion of course.

These sites are a promising start. The focus on schools, however, relies on two points of leverage: The school has counselling resources to respond, and the suspected perpetrator is likely a minor with limited civil liberties. Parents are empowered to respond. In cases like Columbine and Springfield, it might have helped. Oxford, Michigan and Sandy Hook demonstrate how parents can become enablers.

Many of the recent school shootings have been carried out by recently graduated young adults...Able to purchase weapons, but out of reach of those who could intervene.

an empty and essentially meaningless platitude. And maybe it's abut time to start calling out the mouthing of meaningless pablum.
