Official: Parents sought counseling for bomb plot student:
According to police, the parents of Ryan Schallenberger tried to get him mental help just days before his arrest.
His parents allegedly took him to a mental health facility after he banged his own head through a wall. Chesterfield Prosecutor Jay Hodge said that the clinic offered no help whatsoever. The clinic had no comment.
Some people keep saying that his parents didn’t do anything for him or they didn’t do enough in time. I disagree. I think they did plenty. They tried to get him help, whether or not that help was any effective is under debate but they tried which is more than a lot of parents would have done. After the ammonium nitrate was delivered they did the responsible thing and searched his room thereby discovering his alleged plot. How many stories have I posted where parents didn’t have an iota of a clue?
Someone at my job yesterday asked me if it was my son would I have turned him into the cops. I didn’t even hesitate in saying yes. If anyone in a similar situation would say no then that just makes you an enabler.
