In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delves into the tragic case of Ethan Crumbley, whose plea for mental health assistance was egregiously ignored by his parents. Instead of seeking help when Ethan explicitly communicated his distress and harmful thoughts, his parents purchased a gun for him—a decision that led to catastrophic consequences. This episode explores the severe neglect and irresponsibility exhibited by the Crumbley parents, touching on themes of mental health neglect, parental accountability, and the dangerous denial of glaring issues. Shavaun Scott and Tony Brueski discuss the legal implications, including the ongoing trial of James Crumbley for involuntary manslaughter, and debate whether there was mental illness within the family that might explain their actions. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing mental health issues, the responsibility of parents to safeguard their children and others, and the broader societal challenges in dealing with mental health crises.
