The brave act of a mother in Texas turning in her own son to the police has started a national talk about how important it is for parents to be alert and how early intervention can help stop school violence.
Nicole Schubert, a mother from Washington who is 41 years old, called the police on her 17-year-old son in 2019 after finding a disturbing diary entry in which he wrote about his plans to carry out a mass shooting at his high school.
The note in her son’s journal, which Schubert called “heartbreaking” and “very descriptive,” explained his plans to kill everyone at school, including his mother and her boyfriend. It also said exactly what day and time the attack was going to happen.
People did not take Schubert’s choice to turn her son in lightly. She wanted to protect her child because she was a mother, but she knew she had to put the safety of other people first. As a parent, your first thought is to keep your kid safe. “But at that point, I thought he would be safer in jail if he was going to do those things,” she said.
Schubert probably stopped a tragedy from happening. Her son was later arrested and charged with harassment-domestic violence and crime threat to damage or destroy property. He was also told to go through a program to check his mental health and do 18 months of community control.
Schubert’s son has gotten help for his depression, finished high school, and is now hoping to go to college in the years since the event. It wasn’t easy for Schubert to turn him in, but she thinks it was the right thing to do to save lives.

Schubert’s story is a strong reminder of how important it is for parents to be involved and watchful in order to stop school violence. She tells all parents that they should know what their kids are doing and look out for any signs that something might be wrong.

James was taken aback to find Liam crying in the attic, disrupting an otherwise ordinary day. Rushing to comfort his frightened son, he had no idea this moment would unveil a long-held secret hidden in their home.

The story began in 2018 when the family’s arborvitae trees were damaged by deer. While preparing to replace them, they noticed something unusual between the trees on the east side of the yard. Initially mistaken for an electrical box, it turned out to be much more perplexing.

In May 2018, landscapers arrived to remove the damaged trees and discovered the metal box was actually the entrance to a massive hornet’s nest, not an ordinary fixture. The nest’s size and unusual sounds, akin to a struggling car engine, astonished James and Liam, hinting at something significant hidden within.

James called a hornet control specialist, but upon encountering the unique hive in the attic, the specialist refused the job. Despite contacting several pest control services, James was advised to wait until winter. Faced with worsening conditions and unbearable noise, James decided to take matters into his own hands.

Donning protective gear, James attempted to remove the nest alone, enduring numerous hornet stings and intense discomfort. Liam, determined to protect his family, bravely used a smoker to temporarily calm the hornets, inadvertently revealing a startling discovery within the nest.

Proud of Liam’s courage yet concerned for his safety, James faced tensions with his wife, Emma, over the unsettling revelation.

One evening at the ranch, I sent my husband a photo of the sunset, cows grazing peacefully, and the calm landscape. His reply caught me off guard: “Look closer at the fence. Zoom in.”

When I did, I noticed two faded initials carved inside a heart—mine and my ex’s. I had completely forgotten about it, a memory from years ago. I tried to explain to my husband that I hadn’t noticed it, that it meant nothing to me now. But for him, those initials stirred old emotions, a lingering reminder of a past I’d moved on from but hadn’t quite erased.
