A very brave set of parents. It is so HARD to have a child this ill, and so very very scary. It is a real tragedy that after age 18 the family can do nothing to force appropriate care on someone so ill.
The mom is very right that the son still has the potential to hurt anyone. Someway, somehow, there has to be a strategy for situations like this to keep the mentally ill person on medications and in treatment. I wish I knew the solution. Maybe we should have time-release medications that can be implanted like the old norplant, or like the insulin pumps or pain medication pumps. A more long term strategy.
