Yeah, it's not really clear yet how much the parents told police when they reported their son and what, if anything, they requested police do other than check on him. They could have asked LE to keep it quiet, IDK.
At first it was reported that it was dad who called police last week after being alarmed by Youtube videos being posted by his son. Now, it's being reported that it was bio-mom who called after seeing them.
But, the LE spokesperson stated that SBPD wasn't aware of the videos at all.
Rodgers' therapist is the one who alerted his bio-mom on Friday night; telling her that Elliot had sent the therapist an email about his plans, along with the "Retribution" video -- all the wheels were already in motion by then.
He was a crafty evil little mofo.
P.s. Discouraging -- we see teens and young adults plan or succeed at doing this kinda shit and the parents often have no idea how far gone their kids are mentally. In this case, the parents seem to have had a pretty good idea and even reported their kid to authorities -- didn't make a bit of difference.
