Woman Scalps Indiana Boy

And blames it on mental illness. I sam very concerned that every aborrant incident is being blamed on mental illness. It creates the image of mentally ill people (depression is included in that) as dangerous and adds to the stigma. People who do such things are EVIL. Period. Most mentally ill people are not dangerous. And even if this is due to a mental illness, so what? It doesn't matter what the reason is. If someone commits such an act, they should be locked up forever. Enough of this, let's give them treatment jazz. They can get all the treatment they need-behind bars forever. Mental illness should not even come into the discussion during trials. The only factors that should be taken into account are, did the person do it or not. Treatment can be discussed when they are locked up.
