In response to her husband’s killing of her 5-year-old grandson and, subsequently, himself, Carolyn Hetherwick has been given ample space in The Herald’s news stories to question the process by which her husband got the gun as well as bemoan the “lack” of mental health care available to desperate people in need. She has vowed to keep on shouting until the people in Olympia “hear” her.
Perhaps she should start with whoever thought it was such a great idea to put a poor little 5-year-old boy with “special needs” into a home where a clinically depressed 58-year-old man was already burdened with caring for his nearly blind wife who had multiple sclerosis that was getting progressively worse with each passing day.
