Mother and father state that he apparently has sniffed propane, glue, gasoline and almost any other drug that is possible, but he denies that, especially over the last four months. 47
What he screamed at his father at the hospital was “I’ll eat you alive.” Granted a self-administered test by the hospital, he wrote that both his parents were “stupid” and never disciplined him. 48
A handwritten note in the Physician’s Progress Report on September 2nd also reported:
Parents visited in alcove @12:30 he stated visit did not go well, he was tearful and would not discuss visit other than to say, “I no longer have parents.” Other staff overheard him begging them to take him home...they refused. 49

Social Service Assessment
Briefly, Pam stated that she has had difficulty with Damien since he was 10 years old. He always tended to be an angry child and somewhat difficult to manage, particularly through his adolescent years. She is convinced he is into activities, such as witchcraft and is very concerned about the quality of friends that he developed while living in Arkansas. For this reason, she felt coming to Oregon would be a new beginning for him...Because of the circumstances that precipitated the hospitalization and Damien’s threats, particularly towards his father and of course his mother, both parents do not feel that they wish to have him return to their home. They are frightened of him and what he can do, not only to them but to other children that reside in the home. 51

Initial Assessment
Admits to feeling “neutral, nothing most of the time.” Admitted to a “history of self mutilation--cutting himself with knives and razors.” Reports that he sleeps most of the day, then goes to his girlfriend’s house. Said that he would “trance out” when by himself and had done that since the 5th grade. “It feels good” he told the clinical social worker, Sherry Dockins. He added that he thinks about life after death. “I want to go where the monsters go.” Admitted to use of alcohol, cocaine, LSD, and marijuana. He admitted again that he was caught with Satanic items and that the authorities think of him as “a Satanic leader.” Repeated his claim that he has been interested in witchcraft for eight years, stating he has tried to steal someone else's energy and influence their minds with witchcraft. He “pretty much hates the human race, and felt that “people were of two classes: wolves and sheep. Wolves eat the sheep.” 52 Mrs. Dockins related that Echol’s wore all black and a silver cross and maintained intense eye contact throughout the interview. 53
Joe Hutchison, Damien’s father, volunteered that he barely knew his own son. His mother told authorities that she didn’t want him around. St. Vincent released Damien on September 4. The final entry in his Physician’s Progress Report stated:
