I dunno, that would be sad, but multiple students die each year from suicide and I've been watching as very little has been done about that for years.
I suspect the burning of someone's car, or other vandalism would probably result in a stronger response, but maybe I'm just bitterly cynical.
Suicide and mental health continue to be problems with youth, but I don't think it's even remotely fair or accurate to say that very little has been done. It's laughable to believe that the response to some vandalism would somehow outstrip the response to a chronic problem that has been taken very seriously and that has had scores of resources thrown at it.
