[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 627366, member: 17542"] Yesterday on Facebook a friend of mine posted that this happened because the young man didn't know Jesus Christ. What? I am a Christian and that comment is ridiculous. I did post, very calmly, that I think it's primarily because he was mentally ill. And further, the whole problem centers around money. It would cost a lot to truly provide the type of care that so many mentally ill people need, including my own son, who is a drug addict. I have heard professionals say that nine months of rehab, with a combination of 90 days inpatient and six months intensive outpatient, has proven to have a major impact on repeat addicts. [B]Who is going to pay for that? [/B]That is the real issue and that is why so many mentally ill people do not get help. I don't know the answer. This continues to happen and we all wring our hands and say how awful it is and nothing changes. I can only imagine the terrible grief and pain of his parents and family members. [/QUOTE]
