Apparently, a 15 year-old boy murdered his younger adopted siblings in Utah. Sad enough.
But get this part:
"The 15-year-old boy once ran away from home, and in that incident, the family apparently received assistance from a church leader, the sheriff added.
"'On that one prior time, he did a runaway, and we located him, so we don't have a longstanding history file on him,' Richardson said.
"The family 'did an intervention through their ecclesiastic leadership, and as far as anything through law enforcement or the state, it's my understanding that they didn't' do any more, Richardson said."
Hard to say if anything different would have happened had there been professional intervention. I'm guessing there wasn't in this case, as I'm guessing the power of discernment led the bishop to not see deep underlying issues.
How tragic.
