Mental Health Warnings Ignored: Breaking Down the Colin Gray Arrest

Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

In the podcast episode of Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the systemic failures and challenges in addressing school shooting threats, focusing on a recent case where law enforcement and schools did little to prevent a potentially dangerous situation. Scott highlights the troubling relationship between gun culture and inadequate interventions in the U.S., particularly in cases where parents are negligent, allowing children access to firearms. The conversation examines how disturbed kids are often drawn to semi-automatic rifles, developing a twisted sense of power and importance. Scott stresses the need for more effective crisis intervention teams, mental health professionals, and anonymous tip lines to prevent these tragedies. She also addresses the lack of transparency in how schools handle threats and argues that parents should be made more aware of potential dangers to make informed decisions about their children's safety. Programs such as those from Sandy Hook Promise and the Violence Project are available, but many communities fail to implement them, largely due to political resistance.
