On June 28, two Metro police officers did make contact with Taylor, 23, and said the home off Maryland Parkway in the Silverado Ranch area was in “complete disarray” and it appeared Taylor “was suffering from some sort of mental illness,” the report stated. The officers took Taylor into custody, began searching the house and came across a locked bedroom door upstairs.
The officers kicked the door open and discovered the two girls. The younger girl was standing next to the bed and the 5-year-old was on the bed, unresponsive. One of the officers began CPR on that child until medical personnel arrived and pronounced the girl dead.
The report said the air conditioning in the house was not on and “the temperature in the bedroom felt exponentially warmer than the rest of the residence.” While the home’s thermostat read 95 degrees, the temperature in the bedroom got up 101 degrees. In addition, a humidifier was turned on in the max position.

From the lib point of view, the mother is “the real victim”.
We really must restore the asylums for the insane. It will mean federal funding for state run asylums, but we save money by greatly reducing the homeless blight and crime.
On this issue, the law & order conservatives are going to butt heads with the Libertarians and the beancounters among us.
We must restore federally funded, state run asylums for the insane.
bttt
We don't need the government at either the federal or state level incarcerating the insane. We need to win the cultural argument over sexual activity so that the insane won't think making babies is normal activity.
Necessary sacrifice for global warming?
The end result when society allows the whole sale murder of unborn children simply because they are still inside their mother.
What a horrible society we live in.
You are correct.
From the lib point of view, the mother is “the real victim”.
Wasn’t it 0bama, himself, who said....’I wouldn’t want my daughters to be burdened with a baby’.

Sickening.
When they become dangerous it is sometimes too late for a lot of innocent people. Probably a lot of people who thought "Uncle Joe" should have been committed are now attending funerals.
Who/how/when did the mental asylums close?
I found a brief history outlined, but it is left leaning (blames Reagan).
In a landmark decision for mental health law in 1975, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that states cannot confine a non-dangerous individual who can survive on his own, or with help from family and friends.
I didn’t see this in the OP, or article.
Reagan didn’t think the Feds should be paying for State Run facilities and cut the funding iirc. And rather than the State’s thinking that they were important enough to continue they just shut them down.
Although there may have been some rule changes too that had an impact, such as not being able to force somebody into a facility.
Yeah....in the lefty article I found, it describes Reagan’s move/subsequent defunding, like this....
1981 President Reagan repeals Carter’s legislation with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. This pushes the responsibility of mentally ill patients back to the states. The legislation creates block grants for the states, but federal spending on mental illness declines.

They, of course, blame the problem on diminished federal funding, and state’s not keeping the facilities staffed/funded.
I guess there are two sides to the story.
What is the fix?
We had federally funded institutions, then we sent the owneness to the states. States failed.
Now what?
Laws (about not being able to admit those against their will) have changed (who changed those laws? Libs, IIRC), and, gov’t institutions are grossly bloated.
What is the fix?
Yeah - She should have been able to get her “free abortion” any time earlier, right? And it is “our fault” that free abortions were not forced on her (er, available at the high school clinic with no parental notification) at taxpayer expense.
Yep, I 100% agree, that’s when things starting spinning out of control with homelessness.
The vast majority of the homeless are insane, and a danger to themselves because they choose to be homeless, yes, I said choose.
Actually, from the description of her recent behavior in the article, it sounds like a possible case of schizophrenia. That is a genuine brain disorder (unlike so many psycho cases). It affects young people, with onset usually between the mid teens to the mid 20’s. More men are affected than women, but it does affect women.
