The line to know whether or not someone is going home and stew about something in their room and stay there or come out and kill someone is not a clear line. If it was, these things wouldn't happen right? Or perhaps someone is dropping the ball every time. Sometimes I am sure that is the case, but I think that these situations, although are extremely terrible and sad, but no amount of prevention will ensure that they don't happen again.
Just curious but how do you know someone who is an extreme "social recluse". The whole idea is kind of oxymoron.

Do you want to take the risk that they might kill someone?
If the school wasn't going to push it any further then IMO they had an obligation to inform the students and parents of that students behaviour and anything they tried to do. Give the parents and students the option of deciding what to do for themselves.
How do I know what an extreme social recluse is? In HS (late 70's) there was this kid in my class who I considered an extreme social recluse. He didn't have many friends and had strange fasciantions with the the FBI and CIA and often talked about the KKK. Of course nobody took him serious and often teased him for his wierd thoughts. In fact most thought he was timid and harmless. About 15 years later I turn on the news to see that he and a few others were arrested for plotting to blow up the Jewish Centre in Calgary.
