Well, maybe. However, that shit ain't free(or cheap). Not everybody is gonna get help(or anything resembling "proper" help), like the trailer trash parents can just pull thousands of dollars out of their asses to send him to a psychiatrist every week for therapy. They might have "ignored" it for financial reasons. You can't just snap your fingers and make that happen.
I wouldn't say that that is necessarily a sign of mental illness that needs to be seriously addressed at all times. In this case, there was obviously something more to it, but kids draw/are intrigued by violent shit all the time. Shit, I had a super religious supply teacher in the 5th grade, that me and some others would tease her with vague juvenile projects that were given to us(like "art" period, where we would just draw shit to pass the time), because we knew she was so sensitive. We just wanted to get a reaction out of the teacher, so we made crude and violent drawings to get a rise out of her. The world doesn't need to stop for that, like it's a definitive sign that someone is gonna kill a bunch of people.
You sound like a bad parent.
Part of the prosecutions argument was that they spent well over 10 grand buying, and then more taking care of, 2 horses instead of their, as the mom referred to him, "oopsie baby".
Not when it comes to the husband for buying and storing the firearm. But... the only leg she has to stand on is the multitude of times the school DIDN'T call them about his behavior.
He's pretty much, with some exceptions, right.
Sounds like Mom will see jailtime.
The best part about this is that, up until just a couple of months ago, they were determined to send a united front and be tried together, until they realized their only hope is to throw each other under the bus.
Tx for the updates.
