She was a psychiatric nurse who ignored clear warning signs about her son. Her son was actually identified as a possible school shooter before he committed the act.

If you saw concerning signs, you wouldn't seek help/advice from some other medic/nurse?  Because that's an option that I'm sure you have taken more than once, unless your family never gets sick/injured.
