Adolescence

[Carolina Fever]

So this series got me thinking about how the parents of kids who do awful things like murder, mass shootings, rape, etc. deal with it. Like the parents of the kid who killed his brother and then went on the mass shooting in Raleigh a couple of years back. How do the parents move on from that?

I've not yet seen Adolescence, and will do so soon, but on your topic there is the fictional film Mass, which is about two sets of parents getting together to discuss the loss of their sons (one was a school shooter, the other a victim of that shooter). It's great, and emotionally devastating. I would say even though it's not very cinematic--as most of it takes place in one room--to me it's the single most underrated film of 2021.

I know the mother of one of the Columbine shooters wrote a book about dealing with the aftermath and even did some interviews about it.
