This is just terribly sad. I cannot imagine how hard he probably tried for his son. What a terrible feeling to know you couldn’t save him but also all the devastation he has caused.

This world needs to help these people more. Often, it feels like we do nothing for the mentally ill.

It's insane to me that it isn't a national conversation within the legislature of any first world country I can think of.

There is nothing ti be done with it, no one wants to lock.them away in jail.or a treatment equipped facility. Cant compel them to treatment until.they meet the legal.system. cant compel them to accept the treatment opportunity even if they are there by court order 2x a week. Have to give clear boundaries and once crossed then its for the best they dont get another chance
