A good friend of mine lost her stepson to paranoid schizophrenia. He was utterly incapable of self care, and eventually was brutally murdered after years of living on the streets. Every judge before whom he appeared, always after some series of crimes, deemed him “competent” and refused mandatory state care. He should have been in a state hospital. He needed help, and that help had to be compelled upon him. Utterly tragic.
