When I called the jail to tell them to watch out for Nick's specific signs that he's in psychosis, I was transferred to the director of all the security guards, and he was so good. We talked for an hour, and he said at one point, you know, I'm a parent myself. I've been working at this jail for 35 years, and I've never seen this many people with antipsychotic medications prescribed in our jail.

And he started gearing up. He's like, I don't know how you're handling this as a parent to watch your loved one be so lost, but yet be incarcerated.

Well, that's where Anne came in. She had the idea to write to the judge. His father, who was the victim, write a letter and say, we're really concerned as parents that there's no mental health or medical treatment for our son available. So the judge made it possible for some probation. And so for that offense, he is not sitting in jail right now.

He is out, but he still has an ongoing case that has a trial coming up.

Unfortunately, he is not medicated still to this day. He is forced to see a therapist, which is better than nothing. We are all, as a family, still very hesitant to visit with him physically. His unpredictability, and I am a little afraid of him right now because he's still unaware he's mentally ill and he is not aware the danger he poses.

Unfortunately, it's a waiting game and hoping, you know, I begged our Department of Mental Health to get him services. And they sent over a representative to the jail twice asking, Nick, will you please come and get services from us? And Nick politely refused because he says he has no mental illness. And our state policies are so backwards.

They say the only way you can get our Department of Mental Health Services is if you volunteer for them. But if you have anosognosia or lack of insight, which like seven different medical facilities diagnosed him with, he can't know he has an illness. So it's like they're discriminating against him.
