Colt Gray, a 14-year-old boy, has been charged with murder for the fatal shooting of four people at his high school in Georgia. According to reports, his mother, Marcee Gray, had warned a school counselor about an "extreme emergency" involving her son before the incident. Additionally, Gray's mother had spoken with a counselor at the school. Gray's mother and other family members have also reported that he sent a text message to her saying "I'm sorry, mom" on the morning of the incident. Students at the school were able to contact their parents during the shooting, with some sending text messages to let them know what was happening. The incident has raised concerns about the impact of screentime on children's mental health, with some schools considering restricting phone use in schools.

1. We coach our kids to keep phones silenced. You don't want to be talking on the phone when we're in lockdown, because that would reveal your location to an active shooter.
2. One of the essential questions that parents asked us was, 'What if Sally or Johnny doesn't have their phone if, God forbid, an active shooting happens or there is some sort of crisis in the building?'

1. I'd hate to see another school shooting be the reason that we bring TVs into the classroom and then disrupt our children's education.
2. Because, in essence, that's what a cellphone is equivalent to — bringing a TV into the classroom and disrupting the ability to get quality academic time.

1. The fact of the matter is parents and families cannot rely on schools to effectively communicate with us in times of emergency, and this has happened time and again.
2. There's a whole host of reasons why parents are deeply concerned about whether or not they're going to get timely information about whether or not their kids are safe.

1. If my child was on the phone with me and they missed guidance from the teacher because they were distracted by their phone and they weren't safe, that's a worse scenario in my mind.
2. What's even more important to me is their safety.
Colin Gray
1. He just wants to go to school, do his own thing and he doesn't want any trouble.
2. He's not a loner, Officer Miller. Don't get that.
3. Words are one thing, but you start touching him and that's a whole different deal. And it's just escalated to the point where like his finals were last week and that was the last thing on his mind.
