In the Covenant School Shooting of 2023, a transvestite woman, Audrey Hale, murdered 6 people at a Christian private school before being put down by law enforcement. In recent weeks many details have emerged about Audrey Hale’s motivations, including swaths of her manifesto being leaked by various media outlets. The Southern Baptist Convention, helmed by the liberal Brent Leatherwood, has fought tooth and nail to prevent the manifesto’s public release.
So far the manifesto has confirmed the strong connection between pornography and transgenderism while also expressing anti-Christian motivations. The investigation is still ongoing, and the Tennessee Star reported a bombshell whereby police have acknowledged that Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) failed to report the threats that Audrey Hale was making and posed to specific victims such as her parents and others. The Star reports:
This includes information provided by a source familiar with the MNPD investigation, who told The Star that MNPD Chief John Drake acknowledged to them that VUMC had knowledge that Hale expressed to mental health professionals there she had thoughts of killing her father and fantasized about committing a mass murder at a school, but failed its duty to warn potential victims.
The Star has learned that Drake acknowledged VUMC staff failed to adhere to Tennessee Code 33-3-206, which at the time of Hale’s March 27, 2023 attack mandated mental health professionals and behavioral analysts “shall take reasonable care to predict, warn of, or take precautions to protect the identified victim from the service recipient’s violent behavior.”
Upon learning of a mental health patient’s threat, Tennessee Code 33-3-207 explains they are meant to inform identified victims, take steps to voluntarily or involuntarily commit the patient, and continue mental health treatment.
While there is no criminal penalty for mental health professionals who neglect their duty to warn, Tennessee Code 33-3-209 suggests mental health professionals who fail to warn could face monetary liability in court.
However, Tennessee Code Title 28 appears to limit civil actions in personal injury to just one year.
The Star also reported that Audrey Hale was being prescribed five different medications. Vanderbilt has been under scrutiny, thanks to Matt Walsh, for being one of Tennessee’s leading purveyors of transgenderism, and it shows in how they paired therapy and pharmaceuticals, absent of reality in their treatment of Hale.
