And on top of that, the institution...
Yeah.
And the institution point is so, so important.
I mean, it is beyond obvious to everybody that particularly young men are in a mental health crisis.
And one of the best prophylactics in that case is having strong civil society and social safety nets and people
noticing red flags in their community and doing something, doing something.
I mean, in so many of these cases, we find out that at least, you know, five, six people, even if it was just because of people's online activities, students' online activities, had some suspicion.
that there was something going deeply, deeply wrong, and they felt too weird to say something.
The police dropped the case.
The FBI didn't follow up on all of the leads.
It happens time and time again.
And when you don't have strong families, which again, this is just a reality.
We don't have strong families anymore in this country.
That is not a given.
We have
All kinds of people who are struggling and who are on the fringes of society, on the edges, and are clearly showing symptoms of a breakdown.
And they're just roaming about.
Nobody's helping them because they don't know what to do.
There aren't institutions, to your point, Megan, where they can take people.
I mean, it's heart wrenching in it's always heart wrenching when you see somebody who is kind of left to fend for themselves and people don't know what to do with them.
