Lessons from Columbine: What Parents Can Do to Get Their Teenagers to Talk to Them

Dr. Dwayne Fuselier, perhaps better known as Supervisory Special Agent Fuselier, retired, was the Special Agent in charge of the FBI investigation following the Columbine School Shooting ten years ago.  Recently, a new book about this incident has been published in which Dwayne's role is extensively discussed.  (Also of interest is the fact that Dwayne's youngest son was a student at Columbine and in the school at the time of the shootings.)

Recently Dwayne, who is a specialist in hostage negotiation and criminal behavior profiling, was asked whether or not parents could be educated with respect to spotting a teenaged child's predilection for such lethal behavior as school shootings.  His response was to write the following article--you can read it here.

By the way, before becoming a Special Agent of the FBI in the early 80's, Dr. Fuselier had earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology and had served a tour of duty as an Air Force psychologist.
