Grant Accord Arrest, PANDAS Disease and School Safety Overreach
A 17-year-old student in Oregon, Grant Accord, was arrested for allegedly plotting a school attack after police found "destructive devices" in a secret compartment in his room. His mother attributed his behavior to PANDAS, a rare autoimmune disorder linked to OCD and tics. The case is discussed as an example of "pre-crime" enforcement and the criminalization of adolescent frustration and mental health issues.
