In this episode of Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the tragic case of the Georgia school shooting involving 14-year-old Colt Gray and his father, Colin Gray, both of whom are now facing serious charges. Scott highlights the growing frustration and necessity of holding parents accountable for their children's violent actions, especially when they enable access to dangerous weapons. She emphasizes that many parents, despite knowing their children are disturbed, fail to secure firearms or seek appropriate mental health care, resulting in deadly consequences. Scott references the Crumbley case as a similar example of parental negligence leading to school shootings. She further explains that law enforcement and schools often fail to act meaningfully when threats arise, missing opportunities for intervention. Scott supports the idea of crisis intervention teams composed of mental health professionals, law enforcement, and school representatives who can monitor and follow up on potential threats, noting that such teams are effective but still underutilized across communities. By implementing these strategies and improving transparency, she believes that many tragedies could be prevented.
