You Can't Prevent The Next Sandy Hook Incident |
|
Posted by Train Dude on Mon Dec 17 17:22:32 2012 We, the wife and I, were just talking about a friend who will undergo surgery on Friday. She has a son (who will be of no help to her) who is remarkably similar in some respects to Adam Lanza. They are about the same age, also a social outcast, just one friend, doesn't work, doesn't go to school, has actually never been to a barber (mommy cuts his hair) and has never dated. He's never been evaluated, except for a pituitary problem. In many ways, he fits the profile that we are seeing of Adam Lanza. His mother knows that he is not "right".Yet seeing this and being aware that he fits the profile of someone who is potentially a danger to society, what can one do? The police cannot act until he commits a crime. He cannot be forced into treatment. Under current laws, we do not have civil confinement for potentially criminal behavior. How can society protect itself from every (dan) in the country - and there are thousands of these ticking time bombs out there? |
