People did not take Schubert’s choice to turn her son in lightly. She wanted to protect her child because she was a mother, but she knew she had to put the safety of other people first. As a parent, your first thought is to keep your kid safe. “But at that point, I thought he would be safer in jail if he was going to do those things,” she said.
Schubert’s story is a strong reminder of how important it is for parents to be involved and watchful in order to stop school violence. She tells all parents that they should know what their kids are doing and look out for any signs that something might be wrong.
