I wish I could access the whole thing. It sounds like a tragic story from the summary. If I had to guess....another consequence of deinstitutionalization, nice in theory and to a certain extent. I seem to hear a lot about the revolving door that the seriously mentally ill go through. Discharges from hospitals to environments/systems that cannot possibly meet the needs of certain patients and the severity of their illnesses.
There's a lot of homeless mentally I'll folks that are "free". I can't begin to understand that whole dilemma and what is moral and what is not.
Someone said somewhere.....you can judge a society by the way it treats it's most vulnerable.
Thanks for sharing the info
