<p>Tragic. With all of the privacy acts, Va Tech was not likely to notify parents as this student was 21. He could have hid it from his parents. The friends who notified Va Tech may have not wanted to “tell” his parents. </p>
<p>I’d like to know what happened after the visit from police. Did VT think that by notifying the police it let them off the hook? Was there any other F/U? Did he get a referral for any mental health counseling? Not throwing stones, but would like a more complete story. Not that I have any right to those facts… But it would give a more complete tale.</p>
