So is he coming to live with you or what? Because the FACTS still remain. He is schizophrenic, on medication and could possibly kill again. If he can't be responsible for himself, someone should be. That way if he kills again it would be the responsible persons fault... If you had any faith in your hopes and assumptions you would take him in.
Let's risk more lives on ifs... I'll play your IF game. What IF he stops responding to his medication and kills someone else? Do we lock him up again, give him more rehab, change his medication and release him back into society? Because after all it's not his fault and his quality of life in paramount to public safety... Exactly how many people can he kill before he should be locked away for good? You've obviously decided that his quality of life is more important than the person he killed.Κracus wrote: If, if, if , if.
My point was, you wouldn't put you or your family in harms ways. But you have no problem with putting someone else at risk.Κracus wrote:No, asking some random family to care for a mental health patient is just ridiculous and not at all a realistic scenario.
My mate many moons ago developed 'underlying psychosis', thing is, although he didnt seem right we didnt really have any concerns until he went on holiday, had a skinful and came back completely bonkers. He was only gone a week and he was full throttle nuts. At 1st we thought it was fatigue or he drank too much and needed rest but it only took like 3 days before we ended up taking him to the hospital. Some of the shit he was doing, and had us doing n all... bloody hell, theres more than a few stories.Ryoki wrote:Obs said it best.
My 2 cts, perhaps worth something as i've worked with this particular group of people for six years: even though there's no check on if he takes his medication you can be sure he receives visits or is compelled by law to see someone once every so often for evaluations. And if he stops taking his medication this will be noticed before he can do something similar, you don't go full florid psychosis in 1 week.
And yeah, as weird as it sounds this guy is a victim too; it's unlikely he has any recollection of the event. From his perspective he woke up all medicated and was told he killed and ate some poor dude. Shit, he probably receives or has received trauma councelling for that.
