“I don’t feel one bit sorry for the parents. I think we will discover and rightfully so, that they played their part in all of this..
and had they not been in denial and holding up and covering for their Golden Boy every step of the way, the incident may never have happened..ie they could have stopped it.”

Possible. Anecdotal, I know a young man who clearly has mental problems and his parents, his friends, etc. have tried to help him. All fear that something could really go bad....in spite of all of their efforts to get help for him. The best they can do is get him psychiatry and medications and as much care and love as possible. And prayer without ceasing.
He acts better with psyche and meds but sometimes these people go off their meds thinking they are alright.

And that is when the nightmare really ratchets up...quickly. Very sad.

Incidentally (or not), he has a female cousin with the same type of behavior. She didn't kill anyone but she is a felon. Very, very, very sad all around for them and for their families and for their victims. (tears for situations such as this)
