[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740664, member: 1550"] A person with a low IQ is able to decide who to live with or to be abused. If she wants to leave, she has to leave like anyone else. Just as a mentally ill person who truly believes somebody is trying to kill him will be arrested for hurting somebody. I dont agree with it but that is the way it is. You are not excused for being disabled. My youngest is a Corrections Officer. Everyone in her jail currently are drug addicts, many mentally ill. Most committed crimes due to their addiction. Not long ago, a 19 year old inmate killed himself in jail. Is it fair? I think, as does Daughter, that he belonged in drug rehab, not jail. Plus he was very depressed. He got little to no mental health services in jail. His family blamed the jail workers for not watching him closely enough. But he shouldnt have been there at all....of course I dont know the whole story. Neither does my very upset Daughter. But this is where the mentally ill and disabled often end up. I loathe our system. There is really little help for those who need it. SSI and the services you get from being on it is about all we offer, all we are allowed to offer. It sucks but thats what we have :/ [/QUOTE]
