Stop implicating the healthcare system in this tragedy. This kid was rich, he had access to the best healthcare in the world and was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and his teachers were aware of it, that he had to be watched, that 'he couldn't feel pain'. Mental health professionals aren't mind readers, I haven't read that the kid had any history of hurting himself or others.

Mental illness is not diabetes, it's not heart disease - it's the human brain/mind, and we have barely scratched the surface of understanding how it works and more important how it doesn't work. The pharmaceutical industry has done a good job selling the public and the shrinks and the primary care physicians that there's a pill or treatment for all these mental illnesses, whether they are all actually diseases/illnesses is up for debate. My guess is a lot of these problems are behavioral, root cause, society in general and parenting.

Maybe the mother saw the anger and was afraid to do anything about it. Mothers cover for their kids, maybe she was in denial - who knows. There are thousands of human ticking time bombs walking amongst us, most never go off.
