[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 36929, member: 1550"] I felt a sick chill when I heard this. Obvioiusly, this boy was mentally ill. His dorm mates had expressed concern about him and they had been ignored. I don't believe any of our kids will go that far, although you never know, but we can't think that way. My prayers are with the poor families who lost loved ones, and the family of the child--they will be vilified worst of all. I'm sure they loved their son and wanted to help him. After age 18, there is little a parent can do about treatment, even if they are in college and on the parent's dime. I doubt a counselor would have helped--he sounds too far gone--however, a counselor may have alerted the police or hospital that he was a danger to others and gotten him help before he totally lost it. Very, very sad. Very, very depressing. [/QUOTE]
