This whole case leaves me with an overwhelming sadness. I hope that throughout this process, lessons are learned and somehow more funding is given to social services.
Anger and retribution is pointless. It must be about prevention and the slow process of healing the terrible ills of society. Such things take a lot of time, but we all have our part to play on a day to day basis.
I was wondering if someone could PM me the instagram page please?
In my mind, reducing the stigma of mental illness is a major first step. If you have a broken leg, everyone is supportive and sympathetic. If you have a mental illness noone wants to know. How can we expect people to seek help for depression/PPD etc.. if society constantly clings to negative images of mental illness in the media. Why, just recently, supermarkets here had to withdraw a "mental patient" halloween costume after a raft of complaints from the public, and rightly so. Grrr, it makes me so angry :banghead:
