"School officials said they attempted to call his mother on Friday after he didn't show up, but her voicemail was full."
It isn't ridiculous. His mother said "he probably got the idea off all that ‘gaming’ he did with Fortnite. How they climb up things to go into abandoned homes to get treasures."
You defending someone placing blame on a game might be considered unkind...
^^bbm
People grieve in different ways. Some don't show it at first but will have a meltdown later. The mother may be going through a period of shock, numbness, disbelief as if it is all a bad dream. She probably lost lots of sleep and much more after Harley was found. Sleep deprivation impairs brain function including thought processes and decision making and the health of the body.
As a recent widow grieving the loss of my fairly young husband earlier this year and recently my mother as well, I am now understanding what others in this type of situation go through. It's like they say, you really don't understand grief until you experience it yourself. I also have observed that it is especially difficult with the loss of a child, I can't imagine that! Condolences to all parents in that situation, whether they were "good" or not so "good" as judged in the public eye, at being a mom or dad.
I didn't see it as blaming a game as much as I saw it as opening a discussion for the possibility that the idea of going down a chimney could have come from a game. It is realistic to think so. Just a different way to look at something. That is what we are here for, correct? To brainstorm, see if we can solve cases??? IMO, JMO
I believe I read earlier that they came in when he first disappeared.
This case and all of the speculations and rumors associated with it make me so very sad.
Unless and until LE indicates there is a reason not to believe this is anything more than an accident, we really have no choice but to accept their findings. If there is continuing investigation behind the scenes, we will hear about it if charges are filed.
I hope that the public will accept the findings whatever they may be and allow Harley to rest in peace, and be lovingly remembered as the remarkable young man he was.
Why, if I may ask?
