I genuinely wanted to reply with, "No, you're right. My bad." But I don't recall saying anything that could be taken that way. The crux was, "Hey, we're simplifying this stuff too much, and it deserves a closer look or more understanding of the complexity."

I'm having a tough time seeing how that qualifies as armchar quarterbacking (or whatever similar turn of phrase you want to use here).

I'll add this: my statement was not directed at you specifically, and for that, I do apologize. Your post just happened to be the one I replied to that generated the sentiment that this was a simple issue. So there wasn't a direct accusation intended.

I can't wait. :)

Why? I thought we were trying to minimize government involvement in things like family affairs and mental health.

Again, why? This was a local issue. The father, the school system, and the city/county authorities should be the ones involved here. I know that the FBI is all over the place, but that's sort of the problem. This wasn't a national threat and didn't cross state lines, so I'm having a hard time seeing why their involvement and resulting culpability is such a sticking point.
