[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 169984, member: 84"] klmno You're right. They shut down the state hospitals with nothing in place to fill the need. The need was great then, and it's even greater now. Not all state run hospitals were bad. We had one in the town I grew up in that was awfully good. Now shut down. I understand the whole right to live as normally as possible thing, but there are many who simply cannot function in society. Hiding our eyes from it doesn't solve the problem, nor stop the effects these patients have on themselves or the people around them. And the lack of enough facilities is also affecting patients who need help desperately, but most likely wouldn't be long term. Such a sad shame for everyone involved with this. Kuddos to the brave Mom for speaking up. She is a warrior Mom, just like the rest of us. [/QUOTE]
