I like "maybe we are all accountable." We allow kids to have guns, we don't know how to control social media, we don't provide mental health help in our schools for the socially isolated (which I was, but I could count on my parents' love--I knew they cared), maybe I don't give my grandchildren enough hugs...
excellent piece that puts some many reasons, pieces of the event both fictional and real, into a big unsolved 2000 puzzle box. The economic pressure on both parents to work, the exhaustion at home, the ubiquity of everything online and TV...the opposite of how small communities used to make everyone responsible for everyone.
Liked the way this article connected one incident to another and more. There will always be bad among us, but sometimes we can learn and make a difference. Thanks.

Insightful dot-connecting by you and those you quote, Meredith. Art and life overlap again, vividly.
I love this, thank you. I had watched the show and found it simply devastating. How much more so now, sadly?
