Decker Case Exposes Army, Sandy Hook Lawyer, and Untouchable Psych Vendors<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Republished with permission from AbleChild<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been more than a week, and the manhunt continues for the former Army veteran, Travis Decker, who allegedly murdered his\u00a0three young daughters<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on May 30th at a campsite in Leavenworth Washington. Of course, the burning question is why this loving father would kill his cherished children and, given the information about Decker\u2019s mental health, one cannot rule out that psychiatric drugs may have played a significant role in this tragedy.<\/p>\n

While law enforcement has provided surprisingly few personal details about the alleged murderer, those close to Decker have a great deal to say about the former Paratrooper\u2019s mental health problems that reportedly began while he was serving in active duty with the US Army.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Several news reports have Decker \u201cstruggling to maintain stability,\u201d \u201cprone to outbursts,\u201d \u201cclearly had some sort of break and everything that he had been living with, everything that had been bottled up inside of him for so long as far as trauma, just won out,\u201d and \u201che just really suffered from some self-worth issues as far as having the mental issues that he had, seeing the combat that he saw, and then feeling like he wasn\u2019t worthy of his wife and children.\u201d<\/p>\n

What were Decker\u2019s \u201cmental issues?\u201d Well, despite all the talk about Decker\u2019s mental health, any specific information has yet to be made public short of a diagnosis. According to several sources, Decker suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder. Those are psychiatric diagnoses and often are \u201ctreated\u201d with serious mind-altering drugs.<\/p>\n

When, and at what military facility, was Decker diagnosed? Decker reportedly joined the Army in 2012, served a tour in Afghanistan, by 2017 had been removed from the elite Ranger Regiment, joined the 173rd\u00a0Airborne Brigade but by 2021 had transferred out of active duty to the Washington Army National Guard where he became a sergeant.<\/p>\n

It is of some interest that apparently Decker had stopped attending mandatory monthly drills more than a year ago and the Guard was \u201cin the process\u201d of a disciplinary discharge. It is also during this time that Decker and wife Whitney divorced, and Decker was supposed to seek mental health treatment and anger management counseling as part of the parenting plan.<\/p>\n

So, what took the military so long to think about taking disciplinary action? And family courts don\u2019t\u00a0suggest<\/i>\u00a0mental health treatment and anger management counseling. Those are actions that are ordered by the court.\u00a0 Did the Army National Guard and the family court let Decker fall through the cracks? Why? But more importantly, Did Decker arrive at the Washington Army National Guard with a mental health \u201ctreatment\u201d plan? Did the US Army diagnose Decker and prescribe psychiatric medications on his way out the door?<\/p>\n

These are questions that must be answered. His ex-wife believes Decker was not taking any medications. That may be the case, but the question is: had her ex-husband been prescribed the medications much earlier in his military career, perhaps upon his return from Afghanistan? Did Decker withhold this information from his wife and family? Was Decker receiving a disability check for his mental health issues? If yes, he most certainly was receiving some form of \u201ctreatment.\u201d Unfortunately, the military relies on \u201ctreatments\u201d that usually is in the form of mind-altering drugs.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Lewiston, Maine shooter, Robert Card comes to mind when considering Decker\u2019s behavior. Recall that Card killed 18 and wounded 13 others in October of 2023. Like Decker, Card was a weekend warrior and had suffered from anger issues that had command order Card to a\u00a0psychiatric hospital for evaluation<\/a><\/strong>. Card was diagnosed and prescribed medications, which investigators still refuse to make public.<\/p>\n

The families of those killed and wounded by Card are suing the US Army for Card\u2019s deadly actions. It\u2019s of interest, too, that the\u00a0law firm (Koskoff)<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>taking the Card case also represented the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The information about what psychiatric drugs the alleged Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza, may have been prescribed has never been made public. Knowing that the same law firm represents those harmed in the Card case does not bode well for any hope of having Card\u2019s drug regime released.<\/p>\n

Additionally, one can only wonder why the families of the dead and wounded in the Card case are not suing the medical contractors in this case. After all, Card was sent to a civilian hospital that had a contract with the US army. Why are behavioral health contractors exempt from responsibility? The financial incentive for behavioral health contractors is tremendously lucrative, yet they seem to continually escape scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Anyway, while the manhunt continues on the ground in the Washington mountains there seems to be many questions that have yet to be answered closer to home by not only the US Army and Washington state family courts but also the behavioral health specialists who worked with Decker.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t our first mental health rodeo. \u201cTreatment\u201d happened. Decker received mental health care. Where, when and what was prescribed must be answered before anyone can know the reason behind these tragic killings.<\/p>\n
