We've called for parents to get more involved in their children's schooling, as have many others. But one North Carolina woman took the notion and jumped right overboard with it.
Inez Horne's 15-year-old son called her from class the other day to let her know that he feared he was about to be attacked by another student. Horne, her two daughters and the boyfriend of one of the daugters sped to the school, barged into the son's classroom, and started in on a 16-year-old boy.
All four were arrested. It seems they didn't stop to check in at the office. It probably didn't help that they were armed with a knife and a box-cutter.
i blame television.
I blame this even on the lack of common sense... Not television.
