HIPPA. Health care workers can no longer report specific persons who wish to harm themselves or others to the police

That's not true. In many cases they are required to report, especially if there is a threat to a minor child.

Last I looked they can report the threat but cannot say who it came from, and may only report it if the patient has named someone specifically. “I’m going to kill everyone!” doesn’t qualify.
