Therapist here. Austin’s case is the quite literally the worst case scenario for schizophrenia: Sudden onset, extreme delusions, and no support network. the overwhelming majority of schizophrenia cases are non-violent, and most violence cases are self-inflicted, but that just makes cases like this all the most horrifying and tragic.

Their family was so angry with Austin's parents because jail phone recordings released show that Austin's father was absolutely heartless, he blamed the victims, he was extremely callous. Austin's father appears to have ignored all signs that Austin was deteriorating for months, and it's been suggested that because he is an affluent man in the community, he was far more concerned with the optics of a son with mental illness than he was about getting his son any help.

Looking at the whole case, there were a ton of signs of his poor mental state that the people around him (his family) ignored because their reputation may be tarnished

[@uggggggghhhhh]

From what I gather, there were a lot of signs. I think the issue is that there is still a lot of stigma surrounding mental health, sadly. Its extremely evident when the topic of discussion is about 'legal insanity'. Even the families of the victims, who should know most about the case, cannot wrap their minds around what it means to be legally insane. They see Austin as a "rich white boy"; they view the verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity and his possible release as "white privilege" EVEN THOUGH legal insanity is almost impossible to prove because of how strict the law is. Only 1% of people use insanity as a defense and way less people than that are successful in proving it. It only ever works when you are actually insane. I doubt he will ever be released anyway because his psychosis was so severe. Regardless, id rather go to prison than a psych ward. Some people just don't want to face the facts about mental health or are incapable because their minds are clouded by emotions and judgement.

[@magnuskallas]

At the same time TikTok is filled to the brim with disturbed vlogs. You can't "help", or sanction all the crazy acting teens. Some of this nonsense is actually called normal nowadays, and pointing to a disorder might get the pointer cancelled

[@MeatballOwl]

@@magnuskallas While I see your point, I think it’s important to keep an open mind and not jump to conclusions on what person has what disorder you deem fitting. It’s a slippery slope that the people who actually know said person should be addressing, not folks on the internet who see very few parts of these peoples lives. We don’t know what they could be going through. But again, maybe a bit of a push in the right direction might make someone actually take themselves more seriously. I’m unsure what the right course of action would be in all honesty, but I think it’s a good discussion to have. And from what I’ve seen, I don’t think anyone is finding disorders “normal”, what I see is destigmatization of such things. Open discussions of illness which in turn might’ve made people like our main focus here feel less embarrassed to ask for help. In turn avoiding such tragedies. Of course, there are exceptions and you could be seeing something I’m not, though.

[@MazzieMay]

idk if you left out information for dramatic effect, but Austin left the restaurant twice, the first time herded back inside by a friend he was with. He changed his clothes at his mom's after she made him stop drinking the vegetable oil. He swung at his dad after his dad hit the tabletop, demanding to know what was wrong with [him]. And leading up to all of that, he asked his parents to pay for therapy. They said they could love it out.There were several moments to intervene. There were several points to course correct, and all of them were deliberately ignored

Even if he stopped abusing her, she could’ve still spilled the beans online (like she almost did), or years later. And he didn’t want that. It’s sad that she didn’t make it to adulthood, or even given the opportunity to leave that house/ town as a whole to put all of this behind her. I sincerely thought she ran away.. I wouldn’t have blamed her for it. Being stuck with your abuser (especially if it’s a parental figure) is so claustrophobic, you’re never safe and you’re always on edge. It’s so depressing. As a survivor of csa I always dreamt of doing it (running away), but was too scared to. I’m grateful I had friends I could confide in at the time, school was my escape from the hell that awaited me at home. Maybe that’s why Chyenne loved making videos as she didn’t have friends of her own to lean on and used it as a coping mechanism.

I think in America the fire department is often the same as the ambulance service. Which sounds super weird. But if you need police and medical, they'll go for medical first as they need the most detailed info and will dispatch police on the side.

[@imvandenh]

​@@megaangelicthey don't dispatch police as secondaries with medics. The police just show up on their own to prove there's no situation so bad that they can't make it worse. Man has a seizure, wife calls for paramedics, cops show up first and end up tasing him for behaving violently and arresting him for resisting officers. While having a seizure. Seriously. When you're a hammer, everything you see is a nail. Some cops are so dumb it makes one wonder how they survived to adulthood.

I went to Cheyenne's youtube channel as soon as you mentioned it was active, and the first video I saw was the most recent one. As soon as this dude came in and she kinda walked over and touched his arms, and then he began to "play slap" her, I had to stop it and come back. I had an instant bad feeling about whatever I was seeing. Literally, as soon as his legs entered the shot, I got a shiver. I didn't even notice what they were saying. It was really the, "See how abusive he is?" that did it for me. Even in a joking matter, something felt wrong immediately. And all for some sick man's selfish lust. This makes me want to cry. She just seemed like such a sweetheart. A complete loss to the world to not have her in it.

To be fair, in that one video Austin recorded where he talks about how he doesn't want to take drugs (at 26:19) makes it seem like he was being recommended to take medication, but was refusing to do so. It's possible what he was talking about was how he doesn't want to use steroids and other things to cheat on his fitness journey, but it's also not unheard of for people to refuse taking medications because they don't think they need it. Austin's friends were said to have noticed his personality change, so I would hope his parents would have also noticed the change, but maybe they didn't think it would get to the point that it did, I don't know. It's just a sad story all around, though.

I remember hearing about Austin’s harrouffs story a long time ago. As someone with schizo-affective bipolar disorder, I can see in his eyes how dangerous his mind was becoming in those videos alone, building up fast. He was clearly reaching a breaking point, and I think going to a restaurant might’ve set him off faster. I believe that because possibly, the sound of lots of talking, chewing, laughing, clinking of plates and forks, might’ve pushed him to break down completely that night, he was going to break down bad at some point but that probably partially set it off into complete chaos. I say that because I and others with mental disorders have anger and nervous breakdowns in loud restaurants, especially when your mind is so dark like his, his break down was alot worse than most. I’m so sorry for the victims, this is a horrible case.
