Describing specific issues would violate their right to privacy.
I'm sure there is some middle ground we can find. His mother is named in the article and his actions were explained in depth so I don't see a problem with being a bit more specific with what caused the behaviour. Especially when the phrase is also used to describe quite violent people.
I have to wonder why you want a clearer picture of what the boy was suffering from, 'cause from my vantage point it seems it's only to satisfy your own curiosity rather than solve a larger issue.
Imo it's none of our business what his diagnoses was as he was the victim here.
If it's not relevant they dont need to bring it up. If it is relevant I would like to know what way it is relevant. I am fine with either but not both.
Don't forget that the reason I want there to be more detail is because they used the expression as an excuse for that guy that jumped the judge. A guy that was articulate and friendly right up until he turned feral. I think it is doing this kid a disservice to put these two very different people under the same vague header. It's what they did with the r-slur and it's why it's considered a slur today.
Again, in this particular instance he was the victim.
Blanket rules in revealing diagnoses do not take into account individual's right to privacy. I prefer to respect that right vs your request to know.
I don't know why "a bit more specific" is being read as reveal his medical history.
Because being specific is a breach of privacy. It's really none of our business unless ofc one is a busybody.
I guess we will have to let "behavioral issues and mental disabilities" just become the new retard. There is nothing to be done about it because I would hate to be a busy body.
You're the only one saying re___d. That says more about you than any system you're complaining about.
Bro just wants to read retard on the paper. Lol
