"Cruz had been diagnosed at various times with “developmental disorder,” “depression,” “autism” and “ADHD,” according to a Florida Department of Children and Families Services (DCFS) report." For years, Cruz had been a client at Henderson Behavioral Health in Florida, until the fall of 2017.

For years, there were reports of his self-harm, cutting his arms, trouble controlling his temper, aggression, assaulting students, verbal abuse, banging his head, and yet in 2016, a therapist with Henderson Mental Health “deemed Nikolas to be no threat to anyone or himself at this present time,” according to the police report.

Teachers disciplined him and referred him to counseling and police responded to at least 36 emergency 911 calls to his home over a six year period."
"some of these things get thrown out there as if they don't exist..."

true. I am sure we are better at reducing bullying than we used to be. But we can put a renewed emphasis on it and do better, I think that's the point.

As for Cruz, if we couldn't pick up on those red flags, then we stink.
