[QUOTE="Steely, post: 282522, member: 3301"] Hi klmno ~ It has been awhile since we have connected. I certainly hope I have not come across accusatory with you - and if so - you would pop me in the eye:knockedout: My son is best friends with a kid in his program that has psychotic episodes. This kid has done some horrific things - and yet - is seemingly a sweetheart. I have met him several times, and even talked to him on the phone. I talked to Matthew at length about this friend during our last visit - and Matthew seems to truly get how ill this kid can be - and yet does not hold his past acts against who he is as a person now. I think for anyone it would be really hard to hold someone's past against them - when they seem so normal in the now. Yet your son knows what is right and wrong - and knows what this kid did was not OK. Your son is strong enough to not let this kid mold or affect him. I do understand your fears of how it could happen to any one of us. But you have to also remember how tremendously rare it is for a child to commit murder. Your son will not be one of those. He won't. I know it is scary - I understand completely. I still fear it. But it is extremely unlikely. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
