[quote:Furtive:MV81MjM4NjY0Xzk2NDg1MjkwXzcyNjBEMUE3] I am all for opening these facilities again. But... The courts will not even issue orders forcing these people to take medications that will give them stability and a normal chance at life. A parent may go to court for their homeless mentally ill adult child and say that I have their medication lined up, a support structure, a place to stay, etc. The court will not do anything to help because they claim the adult child has free will. If a child does the same for a parent with dementia they will issue an order stating the parent is incompetent without hesitation, giving the child authority over them. It is fucking ridiculous. They closed these institutions as medicine was able to help these people lead normal lives, but will not do anything to make sure they take these meds. [/quote]

A big part of the reason why society seems so crazy is because it is. Many people who were once locked in loony bins now walk amongst us.
When you read a news story of somebody who chops off their wife's head or some mother boils her baby in oil, good chance those people would have been in a mental facility if this was 50 years ago.
