I presume this guy gave some signs and symptoms of violence during his life...![]()
It sounds like from what the care worker said he did but it's not fair to lock someone up forever because of that and deny them the chance of a full recovery. I've worked with mentally ill young people who, when their disorders were at their worst, were a danger to themselves and others. However, with the right combination of meds, therapy and the opportunity to do things that were beneficial towards their mental health were completely non-violent and able to not only be part of but thrive in their communities. Day trips are often a part of that recovery process and obviously someone severely dropped the ball and now this boy will face the criminal justice system and rightfully so. However, you can't deny someone a chance of recovery because of how their mental illness manifested historically.
