AbleChild’s Statement on Mass Killing in Georgia

The murder of 4 and wounding of 9 school-aged children and one teacher in Apalachee High School in Winder, GA is indicative of a pattern that is becoming fairly obvious.  More often than not these shooters have been prescribed psychiatric drugs.

Contrary to the Vice President’s comments, these are not “senseless tragedies.” These shootings actually make sense when one begins to consider the mental health element.

 

Jud Smith, Barrow County Sheriff, explained that the public needed to have patience because “they want to get it right.” Okay, let’s see.  But the public is at the mercy of law enforcement, and it isn’t taking any questions or giving any information, yet CNN (John Miller and Mark Morales) are obtaining information from a “law enforcement source in Georgia.”

This is troubling for a number of reasons. Law enforcement leaking information to one news source is what tends to muddy the details of the situation, and it is exactly the reason so many of these mass killings are never solved. What is certain is that as they continue to occur, the funding for more dangerous mental health services increases.  It has also been reported that the FBI had this 14-year-old boy on their radar; this is another alarming aspect of this unfolding crime scene.

Sheriff Smith indicated that he was taking no questions and would not comment on any information thus far.  CNN, however, claims to have inside information that the “high school received a phone call this morning warning there would be shootings at five schools and that Apalachee would be the first.” Who in Georgia law enforcement is leaking this information to CNN?

More to the point, these shootings are NOT “senseless tragedies.” These shootings go hand-in-hand with the mental health funding and the dangerous psychiatric drugs being prescribed to American children. This is about following the pharmaceutical/behavioral health money.  For instance, let’s consider the mental health spending that has been provided to Barrow County, GA. These shootings are not occurring because there is a lack of access to mental health services, nor a lack of money to fund those services.

The alleged shooter is a 14-year-old boy. What is his mental health background and psychiatric drug history?   If law enforcement wishes to “get it right” then the mental health records of Colt Gray, if they exist, must be released as soon as possible.

The Barrow County School System has received funding through the Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education) grant. Key points include:
