[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compare this thread to the Politics forum. The United States does not care about its children. What horrible culture and country we’ve created for ourselves. Shameful.[/quote]

The U.S. used to follow the other developed nations in providing sufficient in-patient mental health care (including involuntary commitment, where appropriate).

Then, a left-led lobby began a successful, decades-long campaign to 1) shutter all in-patient institutions (see wiki on deinstitutionalization ), and replace that care with essentially:  nothing.

They turned desperately ill (even violent) mental health patients out into our streets.  Daily in DC, you can witness homeless, obviously ill, people yelling at no one, shaking fists, acting aggressive for no reason, etc.  and no one does anything about it.

These same people in need of in-patient care, stab innocent passengers on public transportation, push people in front of trains, steal guns and go on shooting sprees, try to abduct children from local malls, etc.

Bring back in-patient mental hospitals!  That is the real answer here.[/quote]

I don’t know the history, but I know what we have now is unsustainable.  And to the PP who said “homeless mentally ill don’t turn out to be shooters” - well, they stab unsuspecting innocent bystanders in the neck on the metro so fast that not even someone armed could have prevented it.  People like this need to be involuntarily committed, for good.  [/quote]
