She claims everyone else failed her son. In her mind, the fault doesn't fall on her shoulders. She believes her son is a victim of the school system. I do think her son is a victim. His biological parents have failed him more than any school system ever could.
This is what fucking kills me about this. Frankly, at this point, I don't give a shit who failed the kid. I care who is going to be the person to step up and say "I can save this kid" and start getting them on the right path.
All the blamestorming in the world doesn't solve a problem. All it takes is one person to say "To let this pass would be a stain on my honor" who is willing to step up and try to salvage a life.
Then the next problem, of the crab bucket, where all those who chose to be blind to the problem seek to tear down the one who tries to solve it, comes into play. That is a story for another day though. Step one: Someone needs to show this kid that they give a shit and think his life is worth something before he is just another chalk outline.
Mom needs to go stand in the mirror and take a long hard look. If she is honest, she won’t like what she sees.
