Is it just me?
Or should there be debates about the mental health care in this country more so than guns? Where there's a will, there's a way. Get to the root of the fucking issues already.

Talking about mental illnesses is a complex subject. More than a 100 variation.. And there is no definitive way to find out which patient will use a gun badly without him doing it before. Because humans in general tend to make bad decisions. It takes at least three psychiatric evaluation whether someone acted in a moment of madness or awareness. Mental illnesses aren't consistent even in the mentally ill.

I haven't watched the news so I do not know whether or not the Kid survived.
His teachers accounts aren't enough for the court or any reliable psychiatric conclusions. Because "insanity'' is not this on switch that never turns off.
I know this because of two reasons; I have bit of medical experience and at the age of fourteen I did something to my father in retaliation to abuse and other things.
I was more mentally unbalanced, at my worst.
I went through the entire evaluation process. I did very well in school so my teachers had no idea about the state of my mind. They thought I m just rebelious and silent. Their accounts weren't in line with the final conclusions
It took three weeks of evaluation to decide if my actions were in a psychotic episode or with prior planning and faking the illness.

@MyNameIsHurl That sheds light on another problem in the US. Ironically in the greatest country in the world, there is the greatest shortage in staff when it comes to mental healthcare.
So never mind assigning them with the responsibility to evaluate all children.
Maybe there should be a law permitting school staff to sign some students for therapy senssions, free.
Then again their parents maybe too involved in thier behaviours to let them expose the main reasons such as sexual abuse.
It is really not simple at all and nôt free at the moment.
Coping skills work after not while someone is in the abusive environment. There are other measures that have to be taken and it involves more institutions; social services, police department, aid organisations..all.
This all doesn't mean I don't admire or support your need to tackle this. Quiet the contrary, talking about it is the first step.
