[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear kind DCUMers, had a few extremely busy work days and reading your responses now.

Yes, PBJ is probation before judgement. DC will not lie to hide his criminal record. They are open to any job they can find. They are not open to higher studies at this time. Even though DC was academically a superstar up until few years ago, their mental health challenges has resulted with significant self confidence damage. They are also facing lingering major depression. So, any job is better than staying at home. It’s just that they are having tough times to find job. I wish we had better support system in the country for capable , ethical people who are facing significant mental health issues. [b]I am also mad with the legal system where a conviction originating from mental health challenges is recorded and treated same way as a conviction resulting from criminal actions performed with full faculty intact![/b][/quote]
Honestly- what do you expect? Every Tom, Dick, or Sally who commits robbery, assault, murder could say they did not have their full faculties intact at that time.[/quote]

OP here! I understand that there are people who misuse system. That means the loopholes should be fixed and not ignore the cry for help from truly need help. My DC has had mental health challenges since they were in middle school. It was manageable until they hit a certain age when the issue becomes full blown. No DC’s interactions with police for wellness check was not an isolated event since there have many episodes. So, they did not claim mental health challenges to escape the charge. In fact in the court DC explained (had already gone through extensive treatment by this time) how very wrong they were in causing disruption in extremely poor mental health conditions. In addition, DC did not hurt anyone even in that state. Your comments shows how little most people understand about mental health and how much we judge the mentally ill people. [/quote]
