[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's one takeway from this -- moms are still too often discounted, and they should not be

This perp's mother tried to get the police's attention.  They should have taken her concerns much more seriously, unless there was a good reason not to.

[b] Did the officers watch the videos that were posted online, [/b]which concerned the mother so much?  Most people wouldn't take calling the cops about their own young adult kid lightly.[/quote]

Newspaper reports say that they didn't even know about the videos, sadly. They thought he was a suicide risk, not a risk to others.[/quote]

Having autism has nothing to do with suicide risk.  That is a mental health issue and the mental health part should be the focus.  Many non-autistic people have mental health issues and commit crimes. [/quote]

The parents didn't communicate to the officers that they were afraid of their son hurting others. Police thought it was a call about the young man's welfare. The parents should have shown the videos.[/quote]
