The student was arrested, facing felony charges.

Finally, the Houston Police Department investigated a threat at the YES Prep West Campus on Harwin Drive. An HPD spokesperson confirmed that someone called in a shooting threat against the school, to which the police responded and are investigating.

What is wrong with the parents of these children? Don’t they know what they are doing, thinking? Are they failing to know their children, to discipline them, to teach them right behavior?

If children are thinking about committing a crime, preventing that starts at home. Before they walk out the door of their home they should be prepared to contribute and participate in a healthy and positive way in their community, at school, in their neighborhoods.

Gun violence committed by teens wouldn’t exist if their parents were actually parenting.
