Well of course I don't. I think that we basically agree on the subject that people like this need help and it's incumbent on society (students, teachers, coworkers what have you) to see that people get this help. All I am getting at is that it's very difficult to enforce such a psychological policy. The line between depressed and multiple homicide isn't always as clear as it seems. And you can't assume that everyone who needs help is a soon to be killer.

If the school wasn't going to push it any further then IMO they had an obligation to inform the students and parents of that students behaviour and anything they tried to do. Give the parents and students the option of deciding what to do for themselves.

Couldn't disagree more. How will that help anyone? You want to take someone who feels already they are ostracize by society and confirm their beliefs. Why take someone who is already depressed, angry and disturbed and make them more of the above? That will just push them further into recluse and drive them to take more actions such as this. It's not like people in these situations are convicted paedophiles who are getting out of jail and moving into your community. I agree they need help, but this is not the answer.
