[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The middle class and upper middle class "haves" in this exurb live in the sprawl in brand new subdivisions. Here's a $560k example.

The poor "have nots" live in the old run down side of town where houses go for $70k to $170k. Much of "this side of the tracks" are rentals. Here's a $150k example. The Crumbley's home was purchased for only $72,000 in 2018.

How is this relevant?  It doesn’t matter what their income is.  Plenty of “have not” parents in urban areas raise gang members that commit various crimes, ruin lives, and kill innocent people.  Where is the outrage at the terrible parents raising gang members? They often have guns at home too.  And they often know their kid is involved in crime and say nothing.  Are they somehow better? Or does it not matter as much because the innocent people their kids kill are not white kids in school.  [/quote]

I think it's relevant to paint the picture of their "have not" class status because this is a low SES family, no college education, strongly suspected of substance abuse issues, very likely did not even have health insurance -- yet the highly credentialed six-figure salary "experts" at this tiny school district encouraged them to send their teen to a high-dollar psychotherapist and then put him back in the classroom?

NY Post quotes the father's ex has saying he earned 6 figures.

Whether or not there is insurance school could have still insisted they take him home and assisted with referrals to agencies that provide sliding scale counseling. Michigan has public health centers (these do exist across the country, probably not enough but yes, they do exist) based on ability to pay. Such places usually start with an intake even though it can take longer to set up ongoing services. It would have been an easy way for all the adults concerned to cover their ass, if nothing else, and likely would have dampened the crisis effect the kid was feeling. And they might have been able to determine if the kid did in fact need to be hospitalized. [/quote]
