The guest commentary in Sunday’s Daily News by Nancy Schultz and Kathryn Leib Hunter on mental illness reminded me of a tragedy in New Jersey several years ago.
An elderly couple was brutally murdered by three young men, one of whom had been in a class for the emotionally disturbed prior to graduating or dropping out. This couple may have happily lived out their lives if the young man had not been merely labeled and placed in a special class. Disturbed students do not drop off the planet upon graduating or dropping out. They will become neighbors, colleagues and, most importantly, parents!
It is imperative that such students receive psychological help.
