Unfortunately, down in Chatham County, Ga. and all over the country, there are actually parents who are NOT acting and who don't have a clue about what their children are up to and what they're capable of doing.
More charges are pending.
The police acted on tips they had received from other students and from parents who had heard rumors that some kids were going to blow up West Chatham Middle School. The good news out of this episode is that concerned students and parents spoke out soon enough to avert a tragic incident at the school. The bad news is, sadly, some of the parents of the troubled youths whose rooms were searched by the police didn't see anything was wrong. He is not a violent kid. Another set of parents, whose son's room was searched, told police they didn't understand what the big deal was, even though their son's room had black walls adorned with satanic symbols.
