Whats worng with kids these days

Progressives are very good at ignoring anything that doesn't fit into their forced narrative. Then the common folk suffer.

Locked the kid juvenile hall in prison rest of his life

😬

I hope the mother is locked away for negligence of her child and of her firearm.

Between this and the school allegedly searching the backpack that morning and not finding the gun, makes you wonder if it's incompetence, or the admins had it in for the teacher...

Maybe that family should do less lying to themselves. The only option is to take the kid away, he has to be other peoples problem now, i assume this is the first of many things to come on his RAP sheet
