Failing to care for our mentally ill

Believe me, I am still numb and in shock that this has even happened to my brother. But rest assured, once the numbness wears off, I will be full of rage and want answers. And I will keep asking and asking until I get them. Someone has to be accountable and it is NOT the person who did it.

I don't care if I make people angry. Good, I hope I do. Too many people are apathetic at best, about too much in our world today. Hopefully some discussion will be generated and some awareness raised that situations like this occur and will continue to do so until significant changes are made.

It has certainly made me rethink. How many of those three or four lines in the papers are about people who have been murdered under similar circumstances? How many other shattered families are out there? How many more will lose loved ones, friends and family before the government is made accountable and answers are provided?

It is time mental health was a priority on the political agenda.
