A corrupt military police force and incompetent Commander who denied emergency mental health care and crisis counseling to an American service member resulted in the murder of the sergeant's three young daughters

Three young girls, Paityn Decker, age 9; Evelyn Decker, age 8; and Olivia Decker, age 5 are all dead, allegedly murdered by their farther, Army Sergeant Travis Decker, when he suffered a mental break after being repeatedly denied mental health support and crisis counseling at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington State [USA].

According to ABC News, Sergeant Decker struggled with mental health issues, including PTSD, and was unable to receive help through veterans' resources". Decker made multiple attempts to receive help at Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC), located on JBLM, but was repeatedly denied access to the military base by the JBLM Directorate of Emergency Services (DES). Unable to access JBLM, Decker was unable to receive the care that he so desperately sought at MAMC. His repeated requests for help were ignored as were multiple complaints submitted through JBLM's ICE Comment System.

It is alleged that because Decker submitted complaints through the JBLM ICE Comment System, he was subjected to a pattern of harassment, abuse, and retaliation from the JBLM DES [the JBLM Police Department]. Years of harassment and mistreatment at the hands of corrupt JBLM DES leaders may have forced Decker into a mental and emotional tailspin until he finally snapped and murdered his three young daughters.

Arianna Cozart, the attorney for Whitney Decker, the ex-wife of Sergeant Travis Decker, stated "If somebody would have provided Travis with the help that he needed, those girls would be alive."

While these three beautiful young girls may have died by the hand of their father, there must be some blame laid at the feet of a corrupt JBLM police force and an incompetent JBLM Commander who continues to allow individuals in crisis to be denied access to JBLM and denied emergency mental health care and crisis counseling at MAMC.
