Crimes involving suspects with mental illness has been at an all time high since COVID 19. Sanctuaries and programs that help both our youth and mentally disabled people have been shut down due to lack of funding yet our Mayor is under investigation for fraud and conspiracies. I wonder if there is a connection between the two. Anywho, there are plenty of people with mental illness who are not violent. What makes the difference between those who are violent and those who are not? The answer is the help they receive from both families and professionals. There is no reason a person with a mental disability should be excused from trial because they are "mentally unfit" to stand trial for a choice they made. What justice does that bring the victim and in this case a child? Again, there are mentally disabled people who are NOT violent. Suspects who claim that they are mentally unfit to stand trial should receive both help and still face trial in court.

Leyla supported: Mental Illness is not an excuse to take an Innocent Life!Mental illness is something that needs to be taken seriously, we shouldn’t have to wait for someone to hurt not kill to be able to get helped. An innocent child lost his life due to this and it is unfair for everyone whom is his family. I come here today to support because he is my friends step son and to have seen my friend breakdown telling me he lost his stepson was devastating to me. My heart hurts for his parents. This could’ve been anyone’s child as well so I come here to show my support so we can make a change
Cheryl supported: Mental Illness is not an excuse to take an Innocent Life!I grew up with a family member who had mental illness and had violent outbursts. Police told us they could not do anything unless a crime was committed. Basically, they could help us when one of us got seriously attacked or killed...I don't think many people realize that is the current situation nowadays unless the laws change
Lucia supported: Mental Illness is not an excuse to take an Innocent Life!As a parent, I can't begin to fathom the heartbreak and devastation this family must be feeling. No one should have to endure such a tragedy. This is a stark reminder that we need to implement much stricter laws and safeguards for individuals struggling with severe mental health issues. While mental health support and resources are critical, we must also prioritize the safety and well-being of our communities. It's time for meaningful action and policy changes to prevent these incidents from happening again. We owe it to our families, our neighbors, and future generations to do better.
