VAtech

There has been a deluge of press coverage over the tragic shooting incident at Virginia Tech concerning a troubled youth who took the lives of 32 people before committing suicide. I feel awful for those who lost loved ones, but especially sorry for the parents of this young man. The guilt they must feel over what their son has done must be unbearable. Strangely this perfectly illustrates my thought that though we understand each of us has freewill, at what point does a parent not feel that the actions of a child are an extension of themselves?
