Mother buys guns for son planning a massacre!

Perhaps she should get a "Doting mum of the year" award...

A MUM faced jail yesterday after buying GUNS for her teenage son as he planned a school massacre.
Michelle Cossey, 47, bought bullied Dillon, 14, an assault rifle fitted with a sniper’s scope.

She also purchased a 9mm handgun, a .22 rifle and gunpowder to make grenades.

Dillon, who left school at 12 after being bullied over his weight, planned to use them in a massacre in Plymouth Township, Pennsylvania.

He was caught when a schoolfriend he wanted to help with the attack told cops.

Dillon was sentenced to seven years in a juvenile detention centre earlier this year.

It is unclear if Mrs Cossey knew what he planned.

But prosecutors said she had created a “me-and-mum-against-the-world” attitude in her only child.

Dillon had also been in touch with a Finnish teenager who carried out a massacre at his school last November.

Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18, shot dead six pupils, a nurse and the head teacher before killing himself.

On Tuesday another Finn, Matti Juhani Saari, 22, massacred ten pupils at his college.

Mrs Cossey pleaded guilty on Tuesday to child endangerment.

Her sentencing has been delayed for psychiatric reports.

I'm assuming she's a single mother, with no one to care xcept for her son...

if ur kid is being bullied... what would u have do, this kid had to quit school, so i'm thinking this is a really extreme case where bullies can do anything they want, and school just don't give d*mn about this type of cases, if not, they would have been the first to be alerted about it, right? i dunno

Can't blame the mom, she's more sicko then her kid or can we? i dunno

blame media?? i dunno...

blame the bullies, or their parents? i dunno

so who to blame? ...so hungry... forgot to have sahur this morning... i dunno

this is not the proper way to solve the issues your son is having due to: excess weight, ugliness, slimness etc.

Just pay attention to your kids and whenever they asks for something that implieas danger be cautious; sit, talk to them do not let them wander around 'cause then bad ideas come to mind.

God will have mercy of them...human judge won't

was in touch with a few, through the internet.

According to the BBC this morning, it's thought that the Finnish boy (who went on a killing spree at HIS school the other day) also had contact with the other Finn.

Creepy. I mean, is there an entire world out there on the internet dedicated to this type of thing? I guess there is .... well why isn't it monitored then! Qtel manage :D
