"To think people with mental health issues should be locked up?"

I don't get why they closed the asylums, now we have all these unstable lunatics wandering round the streets. There is one living near me so I can't even let the dc play out in case she kidnaps them and locks them in her cellar. I think they should start some kind of loony register to keep tabs on them and then they can notify residents when one moved into the area!

wtf?

GettinTrimmer · 04/02/2011 10:07

Is this a wind up?

Why do you think you children are at such risk?

Oh do fuck off, there's a dear.

thebountymuncher · 04/02/2011 10:09

I know what you mean, they end up on t'interweb spouting crap.

LizaTarbucksAuntie · 04/02/2011 10:10

seriously?

Bloody hell I hope I don't know you in RL.

Exactly bountymuncher

YABU, although there is the real problem that when they scrapped asylums in favour of 'Care in the Community', they sadly neglected to adequately implement the 'care' part of it. Sad

I forgot my Hmm in my outrage.

Could we have one of those registers on MN too? I imagine you'd be somewhere near the top, OP...

MmeLindt · 04/02/2011 10:12

Is this a thread about a thread?

ThaliaKeith · 04/02/2011 10:13

Doesn't really even justify a Biscuit tbh.

I'm a staunch atheist but can't think of a better way to say it so - there but for the grace of god go you.

Heroine · 04/02/2011 10:14

That's right! All people with mental health issues are Charles Manson... ALL OF THEM - that's why we have 100,000 serial killers roaming the streets and a million kids locked up in cellars!

You paranoid nut go and see your doctor and get yourself locked up.

I suffer from depression. The only person I have ever wished ill on is myself. I would never contemplate doing anything against anyone.

Would you like to put me on the loony register OP? Fuck why don't you just set a mob on me. I deserve nothing but pain. Or perhaps you could just fuck off and keep your bigoted shite to yourself. Do you realise paranoia can be a symptom of mental illness.

I have to say I am heartened by your responses! My op was what I've just had to listen to three parents spouting in the school playground. Think it was for my benefit too as they know I have issues

AIBU to think that people who never allow their children to play put might as well send them to the local lunatic's house to be locked in the cellar, where they'll probably be better treated?

JaxTellersOldLady · 04/02/2011 10:16

I agree with grimma, YABU -

although care in the community is a step too far. No care at all, just in the community left to their own devices, very sad.

OP I hope you get your issues sorted out soon.

HingCogNeeto · 04/02/2011 10:16

OP tell us why you think your children will be kidnapped

I'm with MMeLindt - I'm unsure whether this is a thread about a thread (thereby sarcastic) or whether you're just a blithering fool.......

purplepidjin · 04/02/2011 10:17

xstitch, ditto. The fact that I'm a care worker with adults with Learning Difficulties as well obviously means sweet fuck all Hmm
