I think it's telling about our society, that the only public support that was available to the mother of this 13 year old kid was the police. There were no first responders for a mental health crisis. We have pawned off our mental health treatment to our police and prisons and they don't have the tools or training to deal with stuff like this. Maybe someday we'll have something a little better. Sweden seems to be trying to get a handle on this. https://apolitical.co/en/solution_article/worlds-first-mental-health-ambulance-arrives-sweden#:~:text=Over%201%2C500%20suicides%20and%2015%2C000,only%20to%20mental%20health%20care https://apolitical.co/en/solution_article/worlds-first-menta....
