Once parents take responsibility for their children. I do agree security should be stepped up but in reality, parents who don't care about their children and don't love them are creating unstable humans.

Kyle, You are right! You have alot of wisdom for a young man!! It all starts with what happens at home. Good input!

I agree. The other issue is that a growing number of students have no respect for their peers or their teachers. Teachers have no very few ways to discipline students today. So the school has a lack of successful punishments for an insubordinate student.

These events continue to reoccur because students never see the legal action that is taken against the shooter. What the students do see is media ATTENTION . And they want attention.

If you have someone who is both determined enough and disturbed enough, there will always be a way, unfortunately. What the schools need to do is more along the lines of what we've done with Wayne Township Schools and Avon Schools in their IP Surveillance network. so their interiors can all be observed remotely.

A great website, by the way, for parents is www.familywatchdog.us. Type in the address and it shows where the registered offenders are in that area.

Hi all, I'm looking for a good hibachi place to take my friends to when they come into town this weekend. Preferably not Benihana. Any suggestions?
