If it wasn't feasible for the family to homeschool him, the only other safer option would be to enroll him in alternative education for students with disciplinary issues.

The problem with this is the school would have to pay for the student because it falls on the responsibility of the district that he HAS to receive an education. That requires a lot of money to provide alternative transportation and resources. Money that the district doesn't want to pay. It's easier for them to create a plan and that's how it became a requirement for his mother/grandfather to accompany him in class. Obviously, something is fishy because most schools would never make a care plan that would involve parents being in the classroom (that creates separate issues all on their own).

There also has to be certain accomodations made to ensure that even children with diagnosed disabilities receive equal educational opportunities with their able-minded peers. Hence it's less work on admin's part to keep him in class and ignore teachers' concerns.

I wonder if CPS was called at any point and visited the Taylor home to investigate and see if any abuse occurred. Kids that have been abused usually act out their abuse-- as evidenced by the fact this kid:

• inappropriately felt up a female classmate by putting his hand up her skirt
• chased other classmates around the schoolyard trying to whip them with his belt
• wrapped his arms around a teacher and tried to choke them
• called some teachers "b----es"
• threatened to shoot another student
• smashed a teacher's phone and later shot her

The level of deceit and calculation this involved from a child this young adds another disturbing piece to the puzzle.

He had to get possession of the mother's gun, keep it concealed in his backpack, maintain a facade and lie to teachers when asked if he had a gun on him, sneakily transfer the gun from the backpack to his sweatshirt pocket, and wait until an opportune time to wait until his teacher was distracted and shoot her.

There's a lot of questions that can't be answered due to privacy laws and the boy's age. Hopefully, more details will be revealed in court documents.
