So the problem really goes back to our inability to deal with mental illness.

---

As I read the threads here, there is a undercurrent that we need to pass a law to solve this problem. And I am surprised that some politician has not presented legislation already but I know it is in the works.

The reality is that we will always have mental illness, just like we have the poor. Now if a politician said that we wouldn’t elect him would we?

So where do we turn?

Hits home here. My wife gives music lessons and the parent of a student confided with her about concerns of safety (paranoia) from her husband. It was apparent that she was delusional. The police were notified and interviewed my wife and my wife told them it wasn't her safety, but her to watch out for because she was sick, ill, deranged, etc. Well, the mother stabbed and beat the husband. The child was spared. Police said they couldn't do anything. She's been incarcerated for half a year now. No medical help. Shes been in hospitals before. Granted the husband dealt with her illness privately, but the shame (E European) got him killed. Sad...
