It seems like Nick should have been institutionalized, whether from drugs alone, or drugs plus serious mental illness, which was left basically untreated.... the issues were obviously not addressed in the Reiner household correctly.

Not blaming the Reiners on this one. You can't force a person into treatment who is not an immediate danger to.self or others. And if he is treated he is let out far too soon. Any family struggling with a child's serious mental illness learns this.

Blame the liberals for laws giving the mentally ill the right refuse treatment. Blame the conservatives for not funding treatment. We have 1/100 the psychiatric hospital beds that we used to have.

1/100 would be a blessing.

More like 1/10,000.
