I get my news out of SC because I am just a few miles from the NC/SC border so that is where our stations are.
The beginning of this week they reported on a High School senior boy who had been arrested when his parents got a package with the fertilizer used to make bombs. The parents also found a diary and an audio good bye recording. It was obvious from what they found what this kids plans were so the parents did the right thing and called the police. I feel for them so much.
What I am really steamed over is that the parents had called 911 just a few days before...I think last Friday...when the boy got so enraged that he put his head through the wall. They wanted him committed but when the cops took him to the ER, the docs in all their wisdom said there was nothing acutely wrong with him so they should just call the local mental health department. Unfortunately the soonest they could get in would be a month!
From what I have heard on the news I think these parents are like us and have been attempting to get help for this boy for years but have hit brick walls. Now the news people and all the "officials" are giving out all these lame platitudes about how parents really need to be observant of their kids behaviors and any changes. Oh gag me!
