The system is very broken and what has happened to you is an absolute travesty.
Cops have said the same to me while certain people continue to be a danger to my daughter. But this is Mississippi and she is trans so even when I point out a chargeable offense they either don’t do it or in my case three sets of charges never went to court.
The mental health system needs so much fixing. The idea that someone can only commit violent crimes if they are mentally ill is so offensive I don’t even know where to start. It is this view that makes people like me be seen as dangerous and treated badly when we are already struggling.
Why people would rather scream “mentally ill” rather than acknowledge that evil exists is beyond me.
My parents used me from infancy to when I hit puberty as a child p*rn model. It’s not because they are mentally ill, it’s because they are fucking evil monsters. They are well respected “nice” people, though.
I’ll never understand why we want to blame the mentally ill instead.
Lots of people are mentally illegitimate you sure as hell don’t have to be mentally ill to commit violent crime. To say otherwise throws people under the bus and we get treated as dangerous just for existing.
