If you are a danger to yourself or others you can be detained,
Matthew wasn’t seriously injured in the attack.. . .by the grace of God.
The mother went full retard. Never ever go full retard.
Sure she/ the mom is upset but tell me... what could possible be gained by putting a person with the mental capicity of a 5 y/o in a cage? The DA made the right decission.
Maybe the correct place for the man is a secure facility and not a group home where he is able to get out among others. What will the response be when he succeeds in seriously injuring someone? Golly it’s tuff because he has the mentality of a five year old? Well, DUH! He also has the lack of restraint of a five year old and a five year old in twenty seven year old’s body does a hell of lot more damage when they throw a tantrum.
If the autistic man can’t legally be held responsible for his actions, then whoever the care-giver for that man is, is responsible.
This one was not so lucky.
These are the people state schools were meant for.
