2. If he has no history of violence, there is nothing they can do

It's nearly impossible to get your child help once they reach the age of 18. You have to be able to prove incompetence in court or prove they are homocidal/suicidal.

I have alot of pity for the parents. I can't imagine how you live with the knowledge that your child is a mass murderer.
