[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe BK was always a problem child, however, I do not believe his parents had reason to think he would turn into a quadruple murderer.  I don’t blame his family at all, but I find the sister’s interview self serving and a bad look.  [/quote]

Of course he was. He was morbidly obese, bullied, then lost a ton of weight. He clearly seems to have autism and who knows what else. He was weird, at best, and scary to the women around him and they had meetings to discuss his off putting behavior. But the family saw nothing. How odd.[/quote]

Oh what medical credentials do you have that allow you to diagnose autism without examining a patient? [/quote]

I said he “seems” it’s not a diagnosis. But his lawyers say the same thing so maybe you’ll take their word for it. It’s pretty obvious.

+1 which means he was displaying odd behaviors for a very long time. He should have been under a psychiatrist's care with close monitoring and appropriate meds. [/quote]
Brian was 28 at the time of the murders, had just graduated from DeSales University and had been accepted into a good PhD program with recommendations from recognized professors.

How do you force an adult to not only see a psychiatrist, but also take the recommended meds? Police: my son is wearing gloves and calling me at 6am - please take him to a locked psych facility and let's mess up his PhD studies and assure he never graduates.

It's one thing if a person has acted out violently in public and put others at risk. It's another that he has ASD traits and odd behavior. In order to lock up this one rare murderer, we are going to have to lock up a ton of people who act odd, but have never threatened others with violence.[/quote]

I didn't say locked up, but I do think the laws should be changed to force hospitalization, meds, group homes, etc for extremely odd and more extreme behaviors. We have three classes in one of the schools where I work with kids who demonstrate extreme emotional/behavioral difficulties. It is very naive to say or pretend that these kids don't ever show violent behavior. I'm not buying that Brian never exhibited concerning behavior that needed to be monitored. Like Nick Reiner, Adam Lanza, Cho and others, there's a history that should have been taken more seriously. [/quote]
