Been watching the episode "School" of the show S.W.A.T. from last night (1/3/2019) and it is kind of interesting. And how do you prevent these kinds of tragedies? Mental health education, good parenting, peer understanding with stopping bullying of all types especially cyber bullying, reaching out by popular and other special students to those who feel they are outsiders, etc. There are many many things that can be done and not for NOTHING.
I faced a bully with a knife in middle school by talking to a fellow tribal member of this kid who was kind of a role model of many other kids including those not Native American. I see he has been a leader in his Native American tribe. Even interacted a little bit with the matured bully while we were both in a class about Native American history in high school in Reno, Nevada.
Grandparents, of course, could also play a role in the anti- bullying by being good role models with respect to tolerance of people who are different in some way.
