Something's wrong. Like, they wouldn't let us report our car stolen. They said if we reported the car stolen, he would have a record. And they wouldn't do it. And they said because we let him use it, that it technically wasn't stolen. The next day, he approached a woman sitting in her car in a parking lot, and he sat her in the leg multiple times. And he has been in prison. He's still unsentenced.

So with how he was handled, mostly the issue with the Department of Corrections is that it is not designed to treat people with a serious mental illness. It is where people with serious mental illnesses wind up going. You're 10 times more likely to wind up in prison than you are in a hospital. So that's the statistic. He was left essentially in a state of psychosis for three and a half years.

They did not treat his psychosis. He had anosognosia, which I don't know if you know what anosognosia is.

Okay, so anosognosia is very common for people who are truly experiencing psychosis. You can see things that are not real and hallucinate, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're experiencing a disconnection from reality. So that was the case with our child. So he was truly experiencing psychosis where he had no idea that he was sick.

But at the time of his arrest, you can still have a conversation, but you're so in a different reality. You're just so living in a different reality. So he had a belief about a metaphysical being. that could destroy him and not destroy him by kill him.
