Rebel8,
You are exactly right. I couldn't have said it better. That was the innocent purpose of the original post, contrary to extreme interpretations of the self-acclaimed "moderate" and "Hippie" views.
The elders are incapable of providing professional emotional care evaluations and treatment, the elders are often even reckless in their methods. One must wonder what the elders think when the person they critically counsel dies.
| Probe of Yellowstone deaths extends to Arizona |

| The investigation into the case of a Scottsdale man and his son who plummeted 200 feet to their deaths in Yellowstone National Park soon will extend to Arizona. |
| Officials with the National Park Service will talk to Arizonans who knew 50-year-old Drew Speedie and his 13-year-old son Brent to collect background for the investigation, said Brian Smith, Park Service special agent in charge of investigating the deaths. The Speedies plunged 200 feet from Gardner River Bridge to their deaths Friday while on vacation in Wyoming, officials said. Irene Speedie — Drew’s wife and Brent’s mother — reported the pair’s absence about three hours after they left to take pictures, said park spokeswoman Cheryl Matthews. "Of course it’s suspicious," Smith said. "Think of all the scenarios where two people could fall off a bridge. We’re going to explore every one of those possibilities." Those possibilities include falling, jumping or being pushed off the bridge, Smith said. Investigators are seeking a man who reported an incident at the bridge Friday. The man did not speak English, and while officials weren’t able to get a phone number for him, they were able to determine that something had happened at the bridge, Smith said. "We’re looking very hard for that person," he said. "We believe that person was on scene and either looked over the bridge and saw (the Speedies) at the bottom, or saw what happened." Autopsies showed the two died from blunt force trauma to their heads from the fall, but Smith said investigators are still awaiting forensic testing on their blood and other items. |
