I would like to see the picture that the kid drew so that I could analyze the psyche of the jerks who thought they could see into his.

It may not matter but one of the snipped bits included a comment from the school that said the process (of placing the child in custody for a psych eval) was a collaborative effort and that because of the increase in child suicide, they simply had to take this case seriously.

We don't know how long the mother had to get to school -- was she given an hour and then the ambulance was called?

Even if that was not the case, what did she do to retrieve him before the 48 hours were up? Her therapist's intervention might have helped . . . did she call a lawyer or just wait and go to the newspaper to talk about trauma?

Schools have an obligation to take children and parents seriously. We have placed that obligation on their shoulders and we hold them responsible for everything that happens in the school and even after the child gets home (bullying for instance).

What we see is a CYA mentality on the part of anyone who can be sued when the outcomes are not good. Who can take that kind of risk? Regardless of what "common sense" may tell us, who is willing to lose their job because they didn't take a threat seriously? And why would they? Because mom, who admitted she sent him to school over his objections, is now whining that the school shouldn't have taken care of the child she sent to school?

Tea partiers and other anti-government types couldn't make up a better story to propagandize their cause. Here, look: the nanny state communists are actually taking the children away! Even the details are perfect, it's the pc liberal LA school district that's the perp and the boy's father is even a patriot serving in Iraq.

I'm beginning to wonder if people in positions of authority are just losing it. Not just some, but all of them. Maybe since the world's now formally being run by assholes, liars and psychopaths, they've lost their moorings entirely. I mean, the great chain of authority ultimately has to run up the line and attach to something immovable.

Though maybe it's just me. Cause I did listen to a bad song the other day. And sang along.

I probably need to be committed.

I'll go look into it.
