[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 401168, member: 1991"] Terry, thanks for posting the link to that article. One point still bothers me though - people are still saying, "Perhaps the parents are too close to be able to see how bad things are." Or perhaps the parents, like so many here, can see the potential for disaster but nobody can help or seems to even listen? I think it's one more reason for us to always document everything. If you had a child who did something like tis (heaven forbid) but you had your own letters you had written to doctors begging them to help him, or authorities warning them of your concerns that your son was psychotic and potentially dangerous - and nothing got done, this is where you could point the spotlight back on the problems involved in actually getting the help in place for people like this. It is far too simplistic to blame any one person or group. But the deaths and suffering of these people will again go to waste, if people get lost in blame, and not in "How can we prevent this sort of thing in the future?" Marg [/QUOTE]
