the sheriffs actually went to his house earlier, but he convinced them he was ok...tricky - Beaker May 26, 08:36
Oy, that's awful on numerous levels. Huge therapist fail there. -- nm - Shaun May 26, 07:44 6
- Disagreed, unless you're suggesting the therapists should have been able to "cure" him. The police were called but didn't detect anything unusual. -- nm - Mop on iPad Air May 26, 07:47 5
  - I'll admit I skimmed it, but did the therapists make the calls to the police? I thought just the parents did. - Shaun May 26, 08:31 4
    - 5th paragraph: "It was the second time in recent months that Rodger's mother tried to intervene. In April, she had called one of her son's counsellors - kelly May 26, 08:40 3
      - but what could they do other than what they did? they visited him talked to him and he seemed "shy" to them - Beaker May 26, 08:42 2
        
        I'm not arguing anything at all, just answering Shaun's question over whether the mental health professionals called the police or not. -- nm - kelly May 26, 08:49
        
        And unless someone has inpatient mental health care their condition doesn't show up in a gun dealer's background search. -- nm - Meg May 26, 08:45
