My father-in-law was also attending high school during Kennedy’s death and lived in Solvang, California. He remembered being in “complete shock”. “Nobody believed it at first, then my history teacher turned the radio on and all the girls started crying”. While he didn’t cry he did say he felt afraid. “There were so many things going on at the time, you didn’t know who was to blame.” (Larsen).The high school sent everyone home for the remainder of the day to be with their families.
His Mother, Magdalena Luczak and her partner, Mariusz Krezolek were subsequently tried and convicted of a series of abuse charges, which included imprisoning the boy for several years and force feeding him salt. However the case highlighted a number of flaws in the social system, which had they been recognised could have prevented the events that occured. Teachers at the school had recognised that the child was abnormally small for his age, and he has frequently been found attempting to smuggle food from the school, yet no one noticed these trigger points and acted accordingly. The schools sole visit came only when Daniel's attendance had reached abnormally low levels, this being conducted by a school nurse, who although referring him to a pediatrician and providing vitamins (which he never recieved) did not follow the case any further and didnt provide the duty of care needed. Doctors and other medical professionals had also treated Daniel for injuried on numerous occasions over several years, yet much in the same way did not proceed to investigate any further, and so Daniels abuse continued.

In the book, Tom Klebold said that his son, Dylan, suffered from being an outcast at his school, and that might have led to his participation in the massacre. The book also describes an arrest of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that took place the year before they went on a rampage. In that incident, previously reported in the media, the two teenagers were caught stealing equipment from a van, but authorities released the boys to their parents' custody, instead of keeping them in jail, and put them in a diversion program. Tom Klebold said that on the day after the arrest, he went for a walk with his son and found the boy to be angry and feeling his actions was somehow justified. "The morality of the whole thing escaped him," Tom Klebold said in the book.
A little seven year old was only drawing the other day in class. Unfortunately he drew a gun, and ended up being suspended from school. It happened in a town up in New Jersey, which also had four kindergarteners sent home because of playing “cops and robbers.” These incidents show that something has to be changed, because are these kids the true cold blooded killers? The article was not biased; it only gave facts that needed to be known by the American public. This article opens my eyes and shows me that America may be going in the wrong direction to stop gun control.
However, my cousin let it slip about a week later that a kid held us at gunpoint while we were walking. My mom was furious because we didn’t tell her about this sooner, but we were only trying to save us because we knew this kid wasn’t joking around. My mom called the cops. They drove around the neighborhood for about a week straight looking for this dangerous kid. There was no sign of him, they couldn’t find him anywhere.

He was a lonely boy. “The only way we are going to clean up this street is to get rid of the spics and niggers.” (158).
I felt guilty because Chuck had no idea I hired a divorce lawyer. Three weeks passed and the feelings were no longer guilt. Replaced by loneliness, anxiety and determination I would spend the next two years fighting for my kids.
September 19th 2013 G Block- American Literature A & P Writing Assignment Sammy and the Trio It took me a minute to realize what had just happened. I curiously followed Sammy out of the store and stopped him in the parking lot. I asked him why he just quit his job. His answer was “the manager needlessly embarrassed three young girls.” I asked “why didn’t you just stick up for what you believe and leave it at that?” He sheepishly replied “I wants the girls to notice me.” “Do you regret it?” “Considering my plan failed, yes I guess I do regret it.” I returned to the store to find the manager, Lengel, who had taken over Sammy’s register at the third check out slot. I asked him for a moment of his time and he reluctantly agreed.
He and others like Gabrielle Giffords are even bringing the parents of the children who were lost in Sandy Hook to make tearful pleas to pass the amendment. Gabrielle Giffords is yet another example that proves my theory. She was shot in the head by Jared Lee Loughner in 2011 in the middle of a constituent meeting she held. Loughner was expelled from college for disruptive behavior and was showing many signs of mental distress prior to the shooting. So much so that his parents disabled his car at night and took his shot gun away from him.
