My Son's School Got Threatened. Here's What That Does to You as a Dad — and the Real Conversation We're Not Having.

from The Unhinged Father · host The Unhinged Father

A parent lost custody of her kids, showed up at his son's school, threatened staff, went live on social media at a gun range shooting targets, tagged the school in the post, and sang a song about school shootings. His blood pressure is still elevated just talking about it. This episode starts there — in the specific, terrifying reality of what happened — and then goes somewhere more important.Because as soon as something like this happens, the conversation immediately collapses into politics. Guns. Gun control. Second Amendment. And Robbie thinks that collapse is exactly the problem — that the political noise is the red herring that keeps us from having the actual conversation about what's driving this and what to do about it.Topics covered: what happened at Robbie's son's school and the specific details that were so alarming, the surge of protective rage that comes with having a child in a threatened environment, why the gun debate as a political issue obscures the real conversation, mental health, social media attention-seeking, and the gap between threat assessment and actual action — and what parents can reasonably do to feel less helpless in a world where these things happen.Send a message about the episode!
