[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 400522, member: 1514"] I am just about as outraged as I can be. If I wouldnt damage my TV beyond repair I probably would have thrown something at it at least a hundred times over the last few days. I post remarks on facebook pages for HLN but what good does that do? Pebble in a storm. People keep calling this guy awful names. Talking about how his parents must have been lacking in some area...social misfits, didnt do enough, wacky themselves...on and on etc. No one who hasnt lived this life has any clue what its like to be mentally ill or raise a mentally ill child. No one understands that children as young as 14 can decide they dont want treatment anymore and simply refuse to comply. No one understands that once a person reaches 18, parents are really screwed. No one will help you no matter how much you beg. Those strange ramblings wouldnt get him so much as an hour in a psychiatric hospital. No psychiatrist cares if he wants to invent his own currency or he thinks people are stupid. This is extremely sad. He obviously didnt trust anyone who could convince him to get the help he so badly needed and now this has happened. Personally, I hope that they will test him completely and find him not fit to stand trial and he will end up in a forensic psychiatric hospital for years and years. If he actually can get well and functional, I wouldnt be adverse to him being released if he could be maintained on intensive parole to make sure he was following medication requirements. As has been pointed out, medicated mentally ill people, really arent that dangerous. [/QUOTE]
