[QUOTE="slsh, post: 568523, member: 8"] Beyond comprehension. My heart just aches for the families. I was heartened to hear a psychiatrist or therapist on CNN just smack down Wolf Blitzer who was trying to blame the parents for not getting help/treatment for their kids. She said that a *lot* of families out there know that their adult kids are dangerous but that, in an effort to prevent wholesale institutionalization of the mentally ill, the pendulum has swung way too far the other way and parents are *not* able to do anything effective to prevent these situations if their adult child hasn't broken a law. I'm paraphrasing, but it is the very first time I've heard someone finally and bluntly say that parents' hands are tied given the current laws. It's about darn time - though I'm skeptical any practical changes will come about. [/QUOTE]
