I just started reading Elizabeth Smart’s book “My Story” and realized that just like others attacked by psychopaths, there was a clear path that could have prevented or lessoned the horrible plight that these victims went through. Mental health professionals should befriend and/or visit those who have had episodes/experiences that have been shown to lead to a possible path of deviance. If the mental health professionals meet with such individuals on a semi-annually basis they would be able to insure that they weren’t planning or acting in a way that could cause pain or harm to the innocent. Furthermore if they felt there were suspicious activities occurring they could report these actions to the police for further investigation and G-D willing stop or prevent these acts from occurring in the first path.
