To get a perspective, how old are you, and do you have any kids?
All parent / child relationship is an exercise on trust, communication, and allowing the child grow.
No child wants to have room invaded all the time, yet parents by all means have a right to know if your child is up to no good.
Was there anything in those kids` youth , anything, that the parents should have forced tbe kids to go to therapy, or whatever you'd do with a potential mass murderer?
I talk to my kids every day. They don't get in trouble, they aren't stashing weapons. But if one of them snapped, I would be the most surprised and disappointed of all.
The only "mistake" these Columbine kids` parents may have was to not know everything they could know about their kids. But really, do you think those kids were going to tell their folks their plans for that fateful day?
Unfortunately, mass murderers are more than likely above the average IQ, and tbese kids knew well how to hide their intentions from everyone, including their friends and teachers. ( Except for the class photo where they act like they're aiming a gun at the photographer)

I am in my mid 40's and have two kids one of whom is about to graduate high school.
Your reasoning is one of the examples of flawed logic today. Think about your phrasing of "THEIR room INVADED" by parents.
Did the teen pay for the mortgage or rent?
Are parents invading territory OR simply walking around in a room that they own and looking at items that they purchased?
And if you are wondering:
1. I have never searched my kids rooms.
2. I have never had to spank one of my kids.
3. I have never had one word of disrespect from my kids in my home towards me or my wife.
Why?
I spend ALL my time away from work WITH them. We go on vacations and take their friends with us. We keep them involved at church. When there is a team party/spend the night, it's at MY house.
The biggest reason I did not make more bad decisions when I was a teen was because of my relationship with my grandfather. He had the strongest character of any man I have ever met. I knew how much he loved me by how much time and energy he spent with me. I was terrified of disappointing him.
If you think that spending time is too much of a burden, don't have children. Sorry for the semi-rant, but society can't raise testosterone filled boys. Only the family can.
