Rodgers was in treatment practically since he could walk. These parents, like them or not, weren’t like the woman in Sandy Hook, who denied her son’s illness and even took him out of school to avoid treatment...and bought and made the guns available to him...until she suddenly had to admit the fact that he was crazy and dangerous. But then it was too late.
Rodgers’ parents were worried about what would happen when he turned 18 and no longer had to go to treatment. They were afraid he would stop, which he appears to have done - but maybe not permanently. I read in another source that he was actually living in some kind of special apartment residence for people who had mental disabilities but were more or less functional (that is, people with things like OCD, but who were controlled with medication).
I think it will probably emerge that he was under treatment, although possibly he wasn’t following through with it, taking the medication, or whatever. And then, therapists are famous for ignoring warning signs. The Colorado movie theater gunman’s therapist “thought about” alerting the police, but then decided that he could sue her or sue the university if she did, so she just sent a vague note to somebody at the university and hoped for the best.
So the parents were so worried about him after turning 18 they kept funding his BMW, designer sunglasses, computers, schooling, etc? They basically funded a terrorist. Willingly. No respect or sympathy from me for those limousine selfish parents. His whole life they gave him everything he wanted to assuage their guilt and pawned his problems off to other people. Even now they hide behind lawyers and spokespeople. They created and kept feeding this monster and now it’s evceryone else’s fault so they can keep their place in Hollywood society
