I remember the Columbine shooting like it was yesterday. I turned on the news to watch the people involved in the attack and thought to myself, "Why would anyone do that?" "Who's kid is this?"
I did not expect to read an article from the mother of one of the shooters. I immediately became interested in what she had to say and her perspective of the story. Perhaps, what really captured my attention were the signs and or signals that the parents did not pick up on. I appreciated the authors honesty and sincerety about it however, it is a huge lesson to parents and friends to pay attention to the subtle things because it could be a cry for help.
Imagine if someone would have just noticed what was going on with Dylan. What a difference that would have been. It is the signs that we all must look out for to avoid situations like this. Susan Klebold's story is a shining example of how we need to pay attention to what is going on with our children.
