>> Sounds like the mother enabled the kid instead of dealing with the problem.
Sometimes “professionals” don’t want the liability of dealing with certain problems — a consequence of a hyper-sensitive, litigious society.
The real pros are not afraid of a tough case, but the real pros are relatively rare.
I would not be too quick to judge this mother or any professionals who have dealt with this murderer. Our society not only does not support parents, but undermines them. Professionals often have more to fear about losing their licenses, jobs and being sued by often the parents or if not them then, the government/community.
times are different than when parents were supported, professionals had respect and mental illness may have moved out of the “insane asylums” butACLU will quickly demand that the patient does not have to take medicine or treatment.
