Let’s focus on the Money money-grubbing medical Industry prescribing Antidepressants, Stimulants, and SSRIs with little or no supervision. The majority of school shootings are done by ‘children’ with Mental issues, and most were being “treated,” as best as I can tell from the lack of information due to HIPAA.

If you read as much as you can on these incidents, 1+1=2. The biggest reason to hold the Medical industry and parents responsible is that these medications have warnings, finally showing Suicidal Tendencies and also Psychotic episodes.
Allowing these children to take these drugs without supervising them should be considered criminal, as with the mother found guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter in the Michigan school shooting, and now the father is being charged and should also be found guilty.
Although this student showed mental issues, the parents never went for help, so it is possible a Good doctor could have avoided this, but as a rule of thumb, most likely would have changed nothing.
One statement certainly leads to the possibility one parent may have medicated him “but said he was given pills and told to “suck it up.”
