YSPNetworkers,
>From a colleague from "Inside Higher Ed"
(http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2007/09/05/writing):  
When Student Writing Could be a Red Flag
As creative writing instructors have discussed how to respond to
disturbing or strangely violent student writing in the months since the
Virginia Tech shooter*s bloody paper trail came to light, many have
pointed to the value of professional judgment. But how does a new
teaching assistant distinguish a legitimate artistic exploration of a
violent or dark subject from a sign that a writer may be a danger * and
then, if need be, respond effectively?
See http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2007/09/05/writing for rest of
the article.
With regards,
Donna
