Madness...absolutely madness
Ma and Pa didn't know something was wrong with they chile ?
Yes the teachers knew, his room mates knew, Police knew....
Ma and Pa
Leh meh try an answer dat, briefly, from my perspective, because in de office here..dey was aksing de same ting.
I have two chirren..one still ah teenager and I ALWAYS worried bout him because half de time I doh fine he movin de way I would like. Yuh tink at ANY time I would ever even entertain de thought dat my son would do someting like dat fella? I still cyar wrap my head around dis event. How ole he was? 22, 23? He livin in residence. Ma an Pa not dey wid him. He is ah adult. At what point yuh does stop blaming or lookin tuh de parent/s. From what I read, it look like de teachers and dem had more knowledge but I might be rong but like ah read in de papers tuhday, we have tuh stop dismissin mentally ill people as "jes weird" and take dey actions more seriously because without proper attention, dis could happen again.
Coco ah hear ya eh but this is what buggin me all day....
Teachers, Principal, guidance officer, police knew of him. Infact from what i read on the newspaper a teacher threw him out of her class for whatever reason. He got sent to a mental insitutation last year, came out days after .
You trying to tell me whether he living with Ma and Pa or has his own residence, Nobody from his family pick up on his behavior Assuming police knock dey door acouple of times or they get a phone call from the University at least a couple of times.....Nobody from his family who living in the US ain't pick up on him?
nah man...ah cyah comprehen dis.
Cana, put yuhself in de boy's parent's shoes....as a parent, no matter what yuh chile do, you would always have this feeling that things will turnout ok...yuh will always be hoping for de best.....
that being said, with all the possible "warnings" that happend before the incident, no one could have predicted this outcome......
the other thing yuh have to bare in mind is that we getting pieces of information from every where...we don't know what is true and what is not true......furthermore, we don't even know with any certainty that the parents didn't do something...
i guess the point i trying to make is, in these situations, it is always very easy to blame the parents, but some times I truly believe it's out of their control...
I know plenty people with good parents who turn out real wayward....
