Good lord! Now we have Schizophenic people giving advice? Talk about a bias. I am so sorry; but we need sane people, making these tough decitions.   No, you didn't ask for Scizophrenia AND NEITHER DID WE! This has got to stop. If you are schzophrenic, i'm sorry; but you are going to have limits. That, dear suffer, is the way it is.   We need masive reform, in our courts and we need it now.   We simply CAN NOT let Schizophrenic people, of any degree, set our laws! Think about it. Mental sickness does not mean you can break the law.   One problem; of critical concern is the known pattern of how Schzophenic's (of all degrees) work the system. Wake up people.   I'm sorry, but the tough reality is, Schophenia is not an excuse for EVERYTHING! After 33 years of experience; with my brother, the most dificult things to understand is, they are not compleately resposible NOR are they compleately irrisponsible! yet, you will not likely understand that, unless you live with it.   So, if my brother kills you child, is that OK; just because he is schizophenic. Let me tell you, he would NEVER suffer the penalty of a sane person, in our current courts. Should mentaly sick people know they will not be punished? Should they understand that will be rewarded with beter care??? Let me tell you, they know it. Even in the severly deluded and underdeveloped (socaily) cases, such as my brother. He has learned the lesson; well. He is in total control. He works the system; whenever it suites him. Our system is broken, and there is not real protection for you. Only AFTER tragedy strikes, and its too late, will the authorities truly act. I'm living this, so take this from my experience.
