[QUOTE="klmno, post: 110648, member: 3699"] Being from VA, I see the Va Tech side of it, but, I don't think the problem was necessarily letting Cho go to school there- kicking him out would have only sent his rage somewhere else. First, they don't have adaquate help here (in this state). Throwing a service in someone's path that isn't even a service for that particular mental health problem is just a token- almost put on for show to make it look like they tried so they can cover their rears. Secondly, I don't know if it requires a change in the law or what, but it seems to me that some people at Va Tech had some opportunity to help prevent this. I understand Cho chose to go on his way, but the intervention methods in place obviously weren't adequate. I'm a firm believer that intervention isn't "Get out". Maybe there should be more or longer involuntary detentions in psychiatric hospital's. I can't get the police to help me get mine to a hospital now, should I need it. And, God knows, if I thought he needed to go again in the future, I'd never be able to get him there on my own again. [/QUOTE]
