[QUOTE="DDD, post: 399891, member: 35"] As soon as the information began to be broadcast I thought "OMG that could be our 20 year old difficult child". He writes (and has for many years) opinions throwing in the names of books that he is only vaguely familiar with to make himself sound like an expert on a subject where he has no knowledge. He graduated from high school and is a nice looking clean cut young man with mental health issues that thankfully have not led to violence [B]but [/B]it is fearful. I just read that the perpetrator wrote (at some time...not sure when) that he wished the college officials would tell his parents that he could not go to college now because he had mental illness and needed professional help. How totally sad is that? It brings back vivid memories of the young man from the upper middle class family who tried to kill Presidnet Reagan. His parents had tried and tried to get him mental health support and finally their therapist or psychiatrist said "let him go out on his own and find his own way". They did. I think he is still in a mental health facility and only recently got permission for short visits with his family. It will never happen but it sure would be wonderful if our politicians turned their focus on assuring support for the mentally ill. It would be cost effective. It would benefit society. It would be the right thing to do. It won't happen. DDD [/QUOTE]
