This counselor removed the records in 2006 and the incident happened in 2007. If those records had not been removed perhaps another counselor could have stopped this!

Sounds like an accident on his part from the stories of this I had read, but it does raise some questions.

running a red light can be deemed an accident too, but it is against the rules/laws. Taking the documents home was against the rules. He could easily be responsible. His actions could have prevented other counselors from stopping this. I guess we here are more sensitive to the issue at VA Tehc since it is pretty much the home team here.

Vurb, it is something to watch for sure, but I doubt anything happens.

Why go after someone over an accident which, if it did not happen, most likely would have made no difference.

taking the files home was no accident? If I am a contractor at your home and take your fire extinguisher home with me one day and your house burns down that the next day becuase I didnt return it, its an accident? I had no right to take your fire extinguisher just as that counselor had no right to take those files. If you had had that extinguisher you may have been able to put out that grease fire just as another counselor with the files and a years time may have diffused that mass murderer. But never mind, as the contractor you'd forgive me saying it was just an accident that I didnt bring back your property in time to save your home.

I doubt it would have changed anything.The files apparently where being "filed" anyways. That just another word for "never to be seen again unless a incident arises to reopen them.. A incident did arise. A year later. Opening them then was the proverbial barn door.

We don't know what would have happened. That's the problem, the chance wasn't even allowed.
