In This Case Parenting Classes May be in Order

Michelle Cossey took permissive parenting to a whole new level when she purchased at least three firearms for her 14-year-old son who was planning a Columbine style attack on his school. It is thought that she knew what he was planning.

Cossey claimed his son “felt bullied” so she was trying to help him. She’s just helped the kid into Juvie and herself into jail:

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) – A prosecutor says the mother of a bullied boy who planned an attack on a suburban Philadelphia high school has agreed to admit she helped build his cache of weapons.

Michele Cossey, of Plymouth Township, is charged with buying her son, Dillon, several weapons, including a handgun, rifle and laser scope.

Prosecutor Christopher Parisi tells The Associated Press that Cossey plans to plead guilty to related charges at a hearing Tuesday afternoon.

Parisi says the mother, in her own way, was trying to help her 14-year-old son fend off bullies.

Defense attorney Tim Woodward did not immediately return a message left by The Associated Press.

Dillon Cossey is serving time in a juvenile facility. A friend tipped off police last year, pre-empting the attack.

Not to date myself but when I was a kid “fending off bullies” meant putting the steel toe to some jerk, maybe a little pepper spray if said bully was unusually large and that was considered “hardcore.” It never involved busting a cap in someone, and certainly not a whole classroom full of kids. What ever happened to putting your kid in self defense classes?

After getting out of prison I think someone needs to sign Michelle up for parenting classes.
