His own witness ,Prof Vorster has already stated that the disorder she believes he has is treatable and should have been diagnosed and treated for a very very long time. That is not the issue.
It is not the responsibility OR the task of the panel to treat, or manage whatever disorder they may find. Or not. . he would be referred onwards. The panel itself is not formed to the view to treat Oscar's disorder, should he have one. This is the mistake that is being made. Their job is an impartial evaluation. And evaluation ONLY. nothing more. They have no mandate to treat Oscar.. has Oscar expressed a wish to you that he wants to be treated?? Absolutely not. Their impartiality would be compromised should they suddenly become his counsellors. This irrational thinking is probably due to a misreading of the statute, or the concept of court appointed evaluation. Keep in mind, this is not at the request of Oscar. far from.
Catching up on posts so sorry if you already realised your mistake and confusion, but it seems to have caused a confusion in itself so I have to ask, exactly where... by who... what... is this
MISTAKE you keep saying is being made and which leads to confusion?
I haven't so far seen any confusion about the evaluation as we all seem researched enough to understand what an evaluation means. And the poster you are replying to is certainly
NOT confused saying the court is sending OP to be treated not here nor in previous post I replied to where you had, IMO, also gotten the wrong end of the stick. Indeed unless I'm the one going raving bonkers the poster is agreeing with you, i.e. that it is
ONLY an evaluation not a treatment. All the poster added, and I too think it's a probable, that
if the panel found something treatable they could recommend OP sought treatment. In fact I'd go even further as they would't even need to recommend this because whether it was treatable or not, would have to be written into the report being
the most important detail for the court. But if after the evaluation OP asked about treatment I could well imagine they may give him names of a specialist, refer him or recommend one so long as he was in a position to attend and not in prison. And a thought, if he get's a custodial sentence and the panel have found something treatable wouldn't that put the financial burden on the state to treat him... at least it would here I think.
