[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 104633, member: 3626"] From the reports I've heard, this young man has had serious problems for a long, long time. He wasn't removed from his parents' home because of neglect or abuse. He was removed because he tried to strangle his mother. That speaks volumes to the amount of problems he had. He may well have been one of those young men that no amount of intervention or therapy could have saved. It sounds like he was on a self-destruct course for a long, long time. It is easy to blame social services for not doing anything but we really don't have all the facts. It sounds like they did try many things. He was hospitalized a few times; he had therapy and medication until he refused both. Yes, it's tragic he was molested while in care but he could have just as easily been molested at his home or at school or anywhere else. To me, it sounds like this was a very troubled young man who was given many interventions but none of them succeeded. He could have come from one of our homes just as easily as he came from the system. My heart grieves for all those who died and all those who tried to save this man. [/QUOTE]
