Transient stabs 14yo girl... what were we saying about the homeless & mentally ill?

I'm curious if this man's mental health status has ever been evaluated?

Or am I just seeing mental illness as the root of every crime like this?

Gvcmom, from the sounds of things the man does have mental health issues.

difficult child's therapist, his lawyer, psychiatrist and others have all indicated that people on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum are over-represented in jails. I would not be at all surprised to find similar statistics for mood disorders.

Well, something sure isn't right with him. Maybe drugs or hallucinations on top of a mood disorder or schizophrenia??? Who knows...
