Metro-Atlanta mental health providers want parents who feel stuck, waiting for their child to receive treatment to know their options.
The message comes two days after the mother of the suspected Apalachee High School shooter spoke publicly.
Marcee Gray said she wanted her son, Colt, to start inpatient treatment a week before the shooting.
“Colt was on board,” said Gray.
She said his grandmother told the school counselor.
“She wanted us to wait until Colt could visit with some other therapist that comes to the school periodically,” said Gray.

A week later, four people were dead, nine hurt, her son and his father were in jail.

A spokesperson said no one would comment, and she said board members are not discussing because they do not want to impact the criminal investigation.
