Why send us to a page with just an excerpt that requires clicking through to another page for the whole story? Why not just link directly to the full article? It makes no sense at all.
My prayers are with you and your family. God bless you on your efforts to reform mental health services. May your efforts be blessed with success.
Now, perhaps we can get some attention for the real problem with violence in America.........the mentally ill.
