Circling the Wagons?

I'm haunted by the now-old story of Seung-Tae Cho and his wife, Hyang-In, parents of Virginia Tech shooter Seung Hui Cho. They went into seclusion at an undisclosed location after the shooting. I've not heard of them since, and it's been almost four years.

Now we have two more parents whose parenting is almost certainly under the microscope. I wonder — recalling that old saying, "But for the grace of God, there go I" — what kind of soul searching they're doing. Indeed, the entire nation is probably wondering, but perhaps we should they be focused on our own parenting instead of pointing fingers at others.

On the other hand, maybe it's better to be pointing fingers at others than to be pointing guns at one another?
