[QUOTE="Fran, post: 183971, member: 3"] Deinstitutionalization is a real hot spot for me. It was meant to give the incapacitated a decent life. Unfortunately, no plans were made to give them anything. They are now homeless, aggitated and in need of help. The police have every right to defend themselves and the mentally ill have every right to have treatment that is not 48hrs. Hopefully those that speak for the mentally ill will be able to assert pressure on our society to give the mentally ill a decent roof over their heads. We would never think to put our terminal family in a he** holes. They get Hospice. What do our adults get? The mentally ill get, unsafe areas of the city if they get any housing. Homelessness and hopelessness. The mentally ill would not be shot if they were not left to fend for themselves and are out there without medication and unable to cope. The prison system is the largest mental health provider in the country. How sad is that?!? It breaks your heart. Be vocal. Vote for those who champion the most vulnerable adults. It's a crime how we treat the mentally ill. [/QUOTE]
