FILE: According to the petition to have Philip Chism committed to Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital for 30 days of evaluation and treatment, the 15-year-old was "out of touch with reality" and "yelling, screaming incoherently (and) foaming at the mouth while being restrained by staff."Reuters
Court documents say a Massachusetts teenager charged with killing his math teacher appeared to be "psychotic" after he allegedly attacked a female clinician at a Department of Youth Services detention center in Boston earlier this month.
The details were released Tuesday by a Superior Court judge in response to a motion by The Salem News.
According to the petition to have Philip Chism committed to Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital for 30 days of evaluation and treatment, the 15-year-old was "out of touch with reality" and "yelling, screaming incoherently (and) foaming at the mouth while being restrained by staff."
In court papers released last week at the request of The Salem News, Essex County prosecutors said Chism slipped away from caregivers before the June 2 incident at a youth facility in Boston.
Prosecutor Kate MacDougall said Chism crept along a common hallway "crouched down out of view," followed the woman to a locker room and tried to choke her while holding a pencil. Other workers came to the woman's aid when she screamed.
Chism pleaded not guilty to robbing, raping and killing 24-year-old Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer after following her into a restroom last October. He was 14 at the time.

Raise children without the knowledge or respect of God, His laws, or respect for others and this type of behavior is what you get when they grow up.
It's not about guns or mental illness - it's a heart issue about how children and adults are taught to handle anger in an absence of moral direction and authority (God's).
Taking prayer and recognition of God out of schools sure is making things better, ...right atheists...?
