[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you get a mentally ill teen -especially one over 18 “committed?” Where are these magical institutions that have beds available because I think my legally adult teen might be violent? Are they for adults or kids? If they are not state-run, I assume they can just check themselves AMA if they want? If not, who’s paying for it? Does the person’s right to freedom disappear if I am afraid they might commit a crime? Why hold Adam Lanza’s father responsible when he had to no ability to change the circumstances of his son’s condition? Was he supposed to forcibly imprison his son? Slip him an un prescribed medication? Smother him with a pillow? What’s the degree of responsibility for another person’s actions?[/quote]

Exactly.   Some of these posters are completely delusional about the power someone has over an ADULT family member.   It's great that they haven't had to experience this as parents of mentally ill children, but maybe they will understand if their own parent ever has dementia but still "competent" enough to not be declared mentally incompetent.

Those parents should have gone to jail period. And every dime they ever made given to the medical bills of the students that survied. The one mother who wrote a book looking for sympathy no hell no.

As for Adam Lanza yes adult however his mother promoted his gun ownership and his mental decline. His mother was as complicit as he was.

VT that shooter should have never graduated from Fairfax county ever. Massive failure.

Wrong.    Eric Harris was 18.

And what does "graduating from Fairfax county" have to do with the VT shooting?  Do you really believe that if Fairfax county schools had expelled him and refused to allow him to graduate, that he would have been miraculously mentally cured and never carried out any horrific acts?   Graduating high school is what led him to perform a mass shooting?   Really?[/quote]
