Reply to comment by Internal_Ring_121 in Woman Who Gave Birth In Manchester Homeless Camp Faces Reckless Conduct Charge by xforce4life

I hope you never have to deal with someone with severe mental health issues. Their ability to make rational decisions can be different from day to day, hour to hour. The article mentions she has gotten help in the past and has a hard time staying on meds. That's how it is for many with severe mental health issues. It's hard to blame her without specific evidence she wanted to kill her baby.

I was homeless myself in those same camps a year to 2 years ago. So I think I know more about what kind of people live down there .

I'm making a statement about mental health in general, not the homeless camp or this particular woman. It's safe to say not everyone who has severe mental health problems takes their meds or the meds work consistently, I think we can all agree on that. That effects how they react to situations.
