i read this first thing this morning, long read, but well worth it.

I have not yet wrapped mind around whether it makes me feel empathy for them or if i am just astonished at how they did not do enough to help their child. while i understand their need to try and help their son, i dont beleive that either of them took enough steps to get him professional help. The story he wrote in 5th grade, WTF.

He was out of control, the mother was not getting through to him, time for some serious professional help.
