Unbelievable, and yet, this isn't a parenting problem, this isn't a mental illness problem.
You do understand that every case is different right? If he shot himself, that's pretty clearly a mental health issue. Probably depression. Since it evidently just happened, it's way too early to speculate on parental responsibility in this case or really anything else. Last week with the creep in Florida, early in that ongoing thread, people were saying he was a Hispanic, maybe from Cuba, who supported AntiFa, but was also a white supremacist, a registered Democrat, but also a Trump supporter and ISIS sympathizer. Almost none of which was true.
A 7th grader who shoots himself in school is absolutely a mental health case. 12 or 13 years old - it's a tragedy.
What did he plan to do with it? Suicide, I would imagine. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like he succeeded.
The school shooting in Florida was an anomaly in that the shooter did not commit suicide. In most mass shootings, the shooter does not plan on getting out alive so I guess you're right in one way: these kids fear no consequences. But not because they're not afraid of being shot by someone else but instead because they plan on killing themselves after maximizing the horror.

It just says "self inflicted" not intentional, so you dont know that its a mental health issue. Could have been an accident if he was mishandling the weapon.
With mass shooters who kill themselves, it's often the desire to control the situation and not depression that causes them to do it. The odd thing about the creep in Florida is that he evidently planned out an escape from the school, but then seemed not to know what to do then. Maybe he chickened out of a suicide by cop plan at the last minute?

Fair point. I was speculating at the same time bemoaning the folks who were speculating last week.
