Yes there appears to be a big problem.
But it is the school's fault for allowing or covering for(Parkland) dangerous kids, but when they have qualified immunity what could go wrong?

The day before the shooting, a teacher saw Crumbley looking at ammunition on his phone while in class. School officials left a voicemail informing his mother about it. On the morning of the shooting, Crumbley’s parents were summoned to the school and confronted with his drawings, which included a handgun and the words: “The thoughts won’t stop. Help me.”But it is the school's fault for allowing or covering for(Parkland) dangerous kids, but when they have qualified immunity what could go wrong?

School District Had No Duty to Warn About Potential Danger Posed by MSD Shooter: Judge
Days before the three-year mark of the Parkland school massacre that left 17 dead and almost two dozen injured came more difficult news for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas families fighting to hold the Broward County school district partly accountable for the shooting.
I agree there are issues regarding the parents and I am in no way defending them, in fact I've been clear in the past that some of our society isn't fit to parent/have kids. And nobody said the school should have the kid committed but if it's true he exhibited signs and was not reported to child services or authorities who's fault is that?

I'm sure this isn't a one off. the ball gets dropped on so many fronts, but how is that a schools fault? I mean they took their warrantee issue straight to the manufacturer who wouldn't do anything. Does a school system have the power to usurp a parent's rights? I don't know the answer, but I don't feel the school is at fault here. The people suing the school are looking for the deepest pockets to sue, not go after the kids parents, who are ultimately responsible for him and his behavior. Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Everyone says their kids are priceless until something happens, but they can tell you the price they were worth for the lawsuit.I agree there are issues regarding the parents and I am in no way defending them, in fact I've been clear in the past that some of our society isn't fit to parent/have kids.

Oxford shooting: School should have flagged student’s concerning behavior, expert says

It's also being reported that the sheriff said the school should have had the school officer involved and reported the kid to authorities but didn't.
Sheriff believes Oxford High School should have told police about suspect’s behavior before shooting
Oakland County’s sheriff believes there was enough reason for Oxford High School officials to contact police about the suspected shooter’s concerning behavior before the deadly attack.www.clickondetroit.com
How many school shooters sent up red flags but were ignored? Parkland is the prime example and it seems we've learned nothing from it. Reports about the shooter's prior acts excused by the school's diversion program which seemed to function as a cover for problem kid's actions and the school's image were quickly denied then ignored, and remember he was also reported to social services and other authorities yet nothing was done.
Nikolas Cruz violated Obama’s Promise diversion program, but never sent to court
Confessed mass shooter Nikolas Cruz had no criminal record despite dozens of disciplinary infractions, but there was one case in which Broward County school administrators were obligated to send him before a judge — and didn’t do it.
The school system knew of his issues in middle school..."one Westglades teacher feared Cruz so much that she would not have him in her classroom unless an assistant principal or behavior specialist was present"...
Testimony: School shooter made threats years earlier
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — During his middle school years, Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz frequently cursed at teachers and made threats, and his drawings of gunshot victims were so disturbing that one teacher kept them for years, turning them over to authorities immediately after he massacre
So the question remains, when should a school expel a kid and at what point should they be liable if they don't? Drugs, psych issues, gang activity, assault, bringing a gun to school? When does the safety of the other kids and school staff outweigh helping (excusing?) problem kids?
