Sorry, but brandishing a knife and threatening someone is not assault. Assaulting someone is assault. The cops would have shown up and taken the kid in, but only if mom wanted to press charges. The problem here is that she makes it clear that such things happen often (and he has never actually done anything, so he's an attention whore like his mom) and yet he still has access to the knives in the house. Is this bitch retarded? You have a kid that goes a little bonkers. Lock up the fracking knives, dumbass.

I'll be perfectly honest here. I lived in a household where at least one of the five kids was regularly just like this kid. More than one of us was violent with each other and had adjustment problems. Alcoholic mom, dad worked all the time, etc. Guess how many of us have even been so much as arrested for assault? None. Each and every one of us has reached adulthood and managed not to go on a killing spree. It's pure fucking idiocy to assume that every troubled kid grows up to be an adult troubled enough to become a mass murderer. Why so many people can read this article and be completely oblivious of that fact is beyond me. It's so obvious. Maybe you have to be around enough kids like this to know that they aren't necessarily evil. His mom may very well have taught him this behavior.
Seriously, people. Read this woman's blog.
