For real. What are they gonna do if their kid specifically calls them directly? Go all Rambo on the shooter?
I'm a man with a very particular set of skills...
A parent is more likely to go rambo and be helpful than cops or teachers, just look at past school shootings where cops didnt do jack sht
The cops definitely need to act quickly. But no one is helped by a bunch of parents wandering around the scene of an active school shooter. Hell, half of them will bring their own guns, now you have multiple people without school credentials wandering around armed on campus. And the police have to chase after them instead of the actual shooter.
This is one of those cases where by trying to help your own kid, you're actually putting them and a lot of other kids at increased danger.
