[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 558539, member: 1514"] It is just awful. To be on either side is an awful place to be in my opinion. I do think we have done our mentally ill an injustice by just closing the doors to institutions and throwing everyone out on the streets. That wasnt the answer especially when at the same time the country was cutting mental health services. Exactly what did we think was going to happen? It didnt take rocket scientists to figure it out. Im pretty sure 5th graders could have figured out the outcome. One thing I have noticed when watching so many of these trials, and I watch a ton of them on TV, is that most of the people who commit the crimes have not received long term therapy and treatment as kids. Most of them are kids or adults that the neighbors say are quiet or not noticeable at all. Once in a while you will get one that people will say was an odd duck but none of them are kids that have been in treatment and its just failed time and time again. That gives me hope that most of the kids we know arent serial killers in the making. Other issues...sure. [/QUOTE]
