I am saying that serial murders, mass shooters & home grown terrorists had patterns and footprints -- that should, somehow have been detected by their parents and physiatrists.

I do not know how to detect this stuff, but I feel morally responsible , for behavior of my children, for example.

Why should I not be partially criminally liable for their misdeeds?

God forbid, a child drinks alcohol or smokes some chemical substance, then gets behind a wheel of a car -- and kills a family going to a picnic.

I am not even thinking of more serious premeditated horrible crimes.

As I said in the beginning of my post, I do not know how to express this correctly -- but I feel that there is more role (and accountability) that parents and doctors treating mental illness/behaviors -- should bear.
