The Teacher

[ecclesvinaigrette]

Does anyone on here have a plausible explanation why or what drove that 15 yr old youth to plunge a knife into the neck of a Teacher.
What a tragic way to lose ones life just as you are about to have time yo yourself.
She was clearly well respected by pupils so what's wrong with some odour young people?

[saasher2012]

You might just as easily ask why anyone would want to take anyone's life if we knew that know one would die needlessly ?.

[prestonpansy]

Spanish isn't easy.

There is no plausible explanation other than the balance of his mind was seriously disturbed.....it is not the action of someone who is acting rationally.

It is just so tragic ......

A 'plausible explanation' for normal people, no.

But for a dysfunctional family, a single parent who went on holiday leaving her 15-year-old to look after himself, taking weapons to school, and attacking someone you don't like, probably counts as plausible.

[ecclesvinaigrette]

There are many many good single parents and there has been since we have sent young men to fight wars on our behalf. The key difference these days seems to be a strong desire among some parents to abandon all responsibility for raising their young. If the parents don't care what chance the child.
So when this young man faces the court would you agree that his mother should be in the dock with him charged with failing to care for a minor and being complicit to homicide?

Men doing their duty by fighting wars has nothing to do with the modern fashion for parents abandoning their duty  to look after their children.

I'm not sure of the technicalities of the law and I'm not even sure that 'being complicit to homicide' is a legal offence. But it does sound like the murderer's parents weren't caring for him as they should have been.

[ecclesvinaigrette]

Not a legal offence but something reflecting the actions of the young man and lee quirking the parent to demonstrate their innocence or guilt would maybe make more people think before they abandon their responsibilities.

[merehazle]

Is there no time these days for a respectful period of silence to let family, friends to reflect without the media fanfare?

And waiting till we are better informed might be better?

Thoughts may be well meant but we had this same overload a few weeks ago with Peaches Geldof.

The police should report the boys statement very soon. 

Let the people in her life pay respects first, in real time, in a real place, in private.  IMO.

Terrible this,,,poor woman just about to retire!!!!. This was more of a spur of the moment thing and maybe not premeditated. I was watching a programme last night about that Columbine school in America when the two boys shot those kids. This is just terrible what life is doing to peoples minds now!!!!!.

If you search outside UK jurisdiction

you can find lots more info

He is named, he's described as an EMO (a depressed Goth)

He had hated her for ages, yesterdays Mirror even said he'd talked about killing Her to others, for some time but they didn't believe him

according to some, His animosity was not about things that happened in her Spanish class, but in her 'religious education' one.
