I’m not sure what you mean by the mother “inflicting” the son on the rest of the family and the community.

Are you suggesting she lock him in the attic?

She gave birth to him and has responsibility for him, under law. Unfortunately, also under law, she has few options. She can’t just give him away. Kicking him to the street would be even more of an “infliction.”

There are few options in our current mental health system. Involuntary commitments last only until the patient is deemed to be safe to release, which is generally a matter of days.

What is your solution?

Her alimony income was reported as $258,000 annually. She could have (and obviously Should have) afforded institutionalization.

But, but - that limits WhackoBoy’s rights sobs the Libtards. My answer to the Libtards is, “Call the Whaaambulance.”

Rights must be balanced. In this case her maternal behavior caused many deaths, including her own because she made a seriously wrong decision. But, with freedom to make choices comes responsibility for those choices. She chose to take the risk of her son’s known violent behavior and she died because of that choice. Her choice.

Where I feel she made a seriously evil choice was not recognizing that allowing her son’s known serious propensity for violence endangered others who had not made the conscious choice to risk their life or the lives of others because Mommie wanted to deny the risks her son posed.

Conclusion: Bad DNA can not be fixed, and must not be inflicted on others against their will.
