Plans for clinic inside Oxford High School upset community

The superintendent said the location would be changed to another spot inside Oxford High School and services would be limited.

www.detroitnews.com

Members of the community voiced their outrage at Oxford Community Schools over a proposal to open a medical and mental health clinic inside the high school in the same location as last November's school massacre and allow the general public in for its services.

In July, the board of education proposed locating the Honor Health Clinic inside classroom 249, a room that served as a teacher lounge and connects to the hallway where accused student guman Ethan Crumbley allegedly shot to death four students and injured seven other individuals.

At Tuesday's board meeting, Superintendent Ken Weaver announced the location would be changed to another spot inside Oxford High School and services from Honor Community Health would be limited to Oxford students, staff and families...

Swiss performed live Tuesday but wasn't voted through by the audience to next month's finals.

"This isn’t the end," declared the Township of Oxford on its Facebook page about Swiss and her music. "It’s just the beginning."...

In one of the recent issues of New York magazine there was an absolutely fascinating article about the dynamics of the Crumbley family before and just after the massacre. Really gave me a new perspective on a few different aspects of the tragedy, including the way the community has reacted towards the mother (versus the way they have reacted towards the father) AND the extent to which the perpetrator was actively trying to solicit his parents' attention/"cry for help" in the months before he committed these murders. I wouldn't go so far as to say that I have any sympathy for any of the Crumbleys, but this excellent piece of journalism definitely enhanced my understanding of the circumstances that led to the tragedy. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/oxford-school-shooting-ethan-crumbley-parents.html

Wow. Thank you for sharing this article. A member of my family is a high schooler at OHS and was there that terrible day. Absolutely devastating. Reading the background of what led to this incident is just….incredible, in the worst way. So many signs. So incredibly sorry to all those families and students suffering.

The article fails to cover some things equally significant IMO: Ethan was neglected as a young child, according to a neighbor. He was left alone at home for many evenings and would turn to this neighbor when he got scared.

The gross negligence of his emotional well-being may have extended across his whole young life. I think a deeper forensic search into his school record and his parents' neglect would tell us more.

Ethan Crumbley’s neighbor warned authorities about parents’ neglect: report

Kayla LeMieux said she alerted child-abuse authorities that the pair would leave their son — then 8 or 9 years old — home alone while they went out bar-hopping.

"Kayla LeMieux, who lives near Ethan and his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, said she alerted child-abuse authorities that the pair would leave their son — then 8 or 9 years old — home alone while they went out bar-hopping, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.

“When they were gone, he would come knock on our door,” LeMieux, 28, told the outlet. “They didn’t leave him with a phone.”

LeMieux said she notified Child Protective Services but doesn’t know if they took action — noting that the alleged neglect continued."

OXFORD, Mich. – The parents of an Oxford High School shooting survivor have filed a lawsuit. They said they waited for the system to work, but it didn’t.

Oxford High student confronts trauma as start of school looms

Mason Bourgeau’s trauma is part of what officials are trying to address as the school year looms for Oxford High, where four students were killed.

www.detroitnews.com

Oxford — Mason Bourgeau was sitting in classroom 216 at Oxford High School listening to an Algebra 2 lesson in February when his teacher walked over to the open door and shut it.

Suddenly, Mason's mind was back to Nov. 30, the day a substitute teacher slammed the same door shut, pushed the Nightlock door barricade into place and ordered Mason and his classmates into the corner, the farthest point from the door. As they waited huddled together, gunshots rang out and screams poured down hallways and through walls into classrooms like his.

“Every time I just go into that classroom or see it, I am stuck in that room. I don’t really know what is going on," Mason, 18, told The Detroit News last week, just days before he is set to return to Oxford High for his senior year on Thursday...

Safety path proposed in wake of Oxford High mass shooting

Students Nov. 30 tried to flee in snow on road, through woods, over fences or through neighborhoods to reach safety; now the township wants a direct path.

www.detroitnews.com

When 1,650 Oxford High School students were forced to evacuate their building on Nov. 30 after a gunman attacked, there was no easy path outside the school for them to navigate as they tried to head to safety.

Hundreds of students had to walk on the snowy shoulder of a 55 mph road along the school while emergency vehicles rushed by. Others navigated uneven terrain through wooded areas. Some jumped a nearby fence and walked through an apartment complex to seek safety away from the high school.

That's why Oxford Township officials are pushing for federal funding to construct a 5,100-foot-long pedestrian path that would create a safe place for high school students to use in an emergency and connect the high school area with other local pathways in the community...

'We are Team O': Oxford Wildcats pay tribute to fallen classmates in spirited return

There were tears, there were hugs, there was still much pain. But, on this night, there were smiles, there was laughter.

www.detroitnews.com

Oxford — As the sun was setting Friday on Wildcats Stadium on this picture-perfect late summer evening, something else had arisen, something not seen much around this northern Oakland County town over the nine months since that awful day when everything changed.

Yes, there were more tears, lots of them. There were hugs. There was still so much pain.

But, on this night, there also were smiles, there was laughter.

There was joy...

Thank you for the wonderful job you’ve done keeping us all updated with Oxford High especially this article about it’s spirit to find a way back from the horrible event that happened last November. I’m no longer a greater Detroit resident, not even a Michigan resident anymore, but I’ve been heartbroken over the months as I’ve remembered that school community and the connections I had at one time. Though this article brought tears too, they are tears tinged with hope for these people. thanks again.

Wonder if a plea bargain is in the works?

Wonder if a plea bargain is in the works?

I also wonder what the bargaining chip would be for them? Could they possibly throw the monster that they created under the bus even more? Or testifying against each other? What cards do they hold? Just thinking out loud ...

Maybe they would plead guilty in exchange for reduced prison time.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Maybe they would plead guilty

Quote snipped by me. IMHO I just don't see either of those two pleading guilty to anything. But maybe they would plead "no contest?"

Ugh, I feel they deserve to pay severely. They bought a weapon for a teenager they knew was struggling and therefore share his responsibility for the outcome.
IMO.
