<p>Does CNN, or any news organization, do a story on every suicide on every college campus? How about every suicide that happens any where? If VT or Blacksburg police took him into protective custody and he wasn’t contemplating suicide (or even if he were) they also face protests of taking away one’s rights. </p>
<p>Depression happens on college campuses. I have no idea what proper protocol would/should be but at what point is the family responsible? Did they notice a change in his behavior? Did they contact the school or police for assistance? The only fault I would hold against the school is not notifying the parents of a possible situation. But again, over 18, these students are legal adults and some don’t have any connection with their families.</p>
