I also have concerns about the mother and her love of guns. She had these assault weapons in the house, knowing she had a very sick young man in her charge.

Yes, if this mother knew her son was so distrubed and truely did want him commited, she should not have had guns in the home.
I just happened across Dr Phil talking about these troubled children, I don't really watch Dr Phil, but I just happened to be surfing channels and came across his discussion on this incident. And he did have parents on his program that said they have sons that they feel can be violent like this. And they also had guns in the home as well. And Dr Phil made it a point to tell these parents that even guns locked up are a problem and to get the guns out of the home. I agree with that opinion myself.
I understand what you are saying about this woman's home and her wealth as well. Which makes me wonder what is available even if someone does have money. It sounds like she might have noticed he was getting worse, and he was an "adult" so from what I understand she was trying to get a conservatureship to have him committed.
You say "we should show no mercy" but I think we are already doing that and that is the problem. What "help" is really out there?
Look at what Yoda is saying, she has no mercy for her situation.
I happened to hear a clip where Obama said we need to make Mental Health care as accessable as guns, well, that is a step in the right direction IMO. I am glad they are not just continuing this "evil" talk.
At least Dr Phil talked about the fact that most mentally ill people would never do something like this.
