The Virginia State Police and FBI could not verify Wednesday afternoon, Seoul time, the whereabouts of Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung-hui's parents, after rumor spread in Korea that they attempted suicide.
An official at the Richmond Federal Bureau of Investigation told The Korea Herald via telephone she could not answer to the question asking whether Cho's parents had been interrogated. She said the FBI media rep could answer the question later.

Los Angeles-based Radio Korea reported Wednesday morning that Cho's parents attempted suicide, according to neighbors.

Cho?s father reportedly slashed his wrist after having learned of his son's alleged killings at around 1 p.m. Tuesday, Seoul time.

Cho?s mother attempted to commit suicide by taking toxic drug, Radio Korea said. She was quickly transported to a nearby hospital, but is listed in critical condition according to the report.

Radio Korea also reported on the widespread speculation that Cho?s parents severed all contacts with the neighbors after receiving the news, leading to a false rumor that they were visiting Korea at the time of the incident.

oh damn, her mother i think was really terrified to what his son have done and also must be very depressed coz he lose his son...

oh damn, her mother i think was really terrified to what his son have done in the history of massacre in USA and also must be very depressed coz he lost his son...

Another article said that the suicide stuff was false and that they were at the hospital being treated for shock.

You can say that again.....

oh you did.. nevermind then!

lol, mailman!

lolz....

Whole lotta crazy!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Fair enough really..wouldn't you go into shock if your child did that?

Nice... :1orglaugh

nice one

happy days?

nope......

Opinion received and dumped in the irrelevant trash bin :thumbsup

yeah really..

Don't ya get tired of the silly stuff Sarah?? :winkwink:

without the silly stuff it wouldn't be GFY

nice thread..:) :) :)

my children wouldn't do that kinda shit.. I make sure they are sociable. I spend a lot of time with them too so I'd already know if I lucked out and if they were capable of doing this kinda shit prolly send them to mental institution myself long before any of their teachers got a chance to do it so would be no shock there. And oh! I'd visit my child at the dorm every fucking weekend too and call them on phone every other day :thumbsup If the parents tried to commit suicide let them they have all the rights to it :disgust

every parents says their kid would never do stuff like that....the 'shock' I meant was physical shock. I guarantee you if your child died at all you would go into shock. Now, imagine he died in that way.

I would prob kill myself for being such a failure of a parent

If my son did that and he was still alive I'd kill the SOB myself.

damn, it's been something new everyday it seems like.

Those parents who say that and whose kids actually do this kinda shit are parents who are talking out of their asses while boozing up. Kids don't go wacko all of a sudden.. there'd be many signs that kids are taking the wrong road. Maybe I'm wrong but most likely Cho's parents were the real reason why he went psycho. Maybe he was abused or even molested by his own parents (Gawd help them if they did). I think in this kinda situation parents should be the ones to get hung or atleast put to jail to make examples so other parents like them straighten up and either stop abusing/put themselves in rehab or help their kids in trouble. I am sorry but I have absolutely no sympathy for Cho or alike parents.
:thumbsup What I'm saying.

I don't think he was abused. Neither were the Columbine guys. In fact they had pretty nice lifestyles. The parents of the Columbine guys were guilty of not noticing the signs and doing something about it when they were CLEARLY there. No way my son has all that shit in his room and me not notice it. There are kids that have the shit beat out of them everyday and don't do this stuff. The one common theme is that they all claim they were bullied by their peers. So maybe they should be the ones punished. Now you could say if one is getting bullied constantly and his parents and school officials don't seem to be able or want to stop it then you can see why they feel the need to do this. Doesn't justify it, but you can see their so called "logic". So if anything at that point the adults involved are guilty of neglect.

As far as this guy, he was what, 23 and you want to jail or hang the parents? At which age is one responsible for his/her own actions?

Okay, again, not saying that they shouldn't feel bad, mad, and question themselves. In fact, I wasn't even directly talking about them but more that ANY person that just lost a child would face going into physical shock..it isn't something you can control. It happened to me when my husband died..your body just does it.

That'd be a normal circumtance this is not. Surely you loved and cared about your husband. Surely you used to talk to him, hold his hand thru thick and thin. Surely you knew what he was or not capable of doing if he would even think something negative you'd try to talk him out of it and if you couldn't you'd get him prfessional help. Cause if you did not you'd feel nothing but rather a feeling of good riddens and if you knew he was capable of mass killing and never stopped him you'd want to kill yourself and everyone would let you too :winkwink: So you shouldn't try to relate there's not even a remote similarity :2 cents:

i am thinking they either went into shock, or they went into hiding, or the government or the people knocked them off. just my .02

and if my kid did something like this, i think i would be in a little more than shock.

when they are 100 :winkwink: When it comes to a crime this big, tag the parents too regardless of the kids age cos surely they have a hand in what their kids have become.
That's all you think? I think they were guilty of being ignorant selfish pricks who could care less to know what was going on in their kids little heads ie. if they were going wacko otherwise they'd spend time with their kids, find out what they were upto at all times, knew what's in their rooms specially if the room belonged to a home owned or rented by parents if not, put them in the next cell as their kids let that be in jail or the graveyard. Don't make kids if you are gonna be uncapable of raising them properly :2 cents:

there is no failure as a parent. He had a choice to NOT do it.

are you even a parent yourself?

for once wouldn't blame the gov if they transferred them to the Gitmo :thumbsup

You are not a failed parent yourself now are you? Maybe his parents had a choice NOT to abuse him or to HELP him and they didn't?

Don't be a retard. WTF would that do? They didn't kill anyone.

Say some 45 year old gets drunk and drives into a school bus stop and killed 10 kids. Obviously his 80 year old parents should be jailed for being bad parents. No one is ever responsible for anything. That attitude is why shit happens.

Getting drunk and doing shit is far from being a pyscho and killing 32 innocent kids. If your kid's alcoholic and you put him to rehab atleast once atleast you tried, if your kid commits a crime your report to the cops you tried, if yours kids turning psycho you put him for counseling you tried. Apparantly these parents never tried shit and not only that this kid shows many signs of being abused as a kid http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18186053/ you shoould be punished for not trying shit, you should be punished for your kids deeds as a result of your abuse when they were young. Or I'm sure in your eyes parents that abuse their kids do nothing wrong cos the kids had choice NOT to do things that deserve abuse :1orglaugh So please don't be a retard yourself either.
