Abrams Fensterman’s Carolyn Reinach Wolf, Executive Partner and founder of our Mental Health Law practice, was recently published in Psychology Today addressing the critical issue of school shootings in 2024.
In her article, Wolf examines the disturbing increase in these incidents, with at least 34 school shootings reported between January and June of this year. She advocates for comprehensive legal and policy reforms at the federal, state, and local levels while emphasizing the responsibility of educators, parents, and communities to implement proactive safety measures.
Wolf also discusses the complex legal responsibilities for gun owners, citing a landmark case where a parent was criminally convicted for failing to prevent a mass shooting by their child. As a leading mental health attorney, she reflects on the severe psychological impact these tragedies have on families and communities, calling for united action and advocacy to drive meaningful change, particularly in this pivotal election year.
