Hi Jackie,
I thought your phrasing was impeccable, as usual, and you are 100%
correct in what you posted. :)
The more I read about that 13 year old the more bizarre that case gets.
Looks to me that not only the kid, but his father and step-father had a
lot of problems. Too bad they can't see these things ahead of time and
intercede. Also, I think that kids need to be sensitized to the fact
that they should immediately report any comments from another kid that
they plan to kill or hurt someone. Times really change. When I was a
kid the worst that happened was a fist fight to settle differences.
