Very true Pete. You can't continually cut, or even completely remove, services to support people and then be surprised when that causes issues down the line.
Obviously we don't know all the details of this horrible event at the moment but we do seem to be experiencing horrific events that could, and should, have been prevented more regularly these days.
Huh?So nothing to do with “removing services” as none of the other cases were then
What don’t you understand about mental health that means stabbing someone can happen if the necessary support and medical assistance is not available?Child was in the care of the woman who has been arrested. She has now been detained under the mental health act.
I take mental health seriously, but stabbing a child...
Had she had mental health issues before this incident?What don’t you understand about mental health that means stabbing someone can happen if the necessary support and medical assistance is not available?
There’s obviously the question of guilt and consciousness and appropriate punishment but it does blow my mind that we aren’t aware that mental illness can mean people can be psychotic on occasion, including stabbing others to death and not be fully in control of their actions
Tragic of course and in this case, like the girl stabbed in the park, just incomprehensible for us ‘normal’ ones

I'm going to be honest, some of the shit you are saying on this thread is a bit weird mate.
No one is questioning that mental health can't make someone do unsavoury things, but stabbing a child? That isn't exactly something you see every day is it? I'm not sure why, but it almost comes across as if you are trying to apologise for her.
Why? It so frustrates me that there are so many holes in our support services.I'm going to be honest, some of the shit you are saying on this thread is a bit weird mate.

Not apologising for her, how could I even know the circumstances?
Ive supported friends with psychosis and other mental health issues that haven’t known what they’ve done.
Sorry to frustrate you
I can’t quite believe what I’m reading on this thread in all honesty.
Was he mad?Do you think Dennis Neilson would have just been a normal guy if he’d popped round for a bit of CRT at the taxpayers expense?
No.can’t we just hang her and be done with it
Was he mad?
Not sure what your point is, please elaborate.Shame - you’d put a dog down for attacking a child
can’t we just hang her and be done with it
Confirmed on the Sun as the grandmother
I mean if she's actually suffered psychosis who are you to sign the death warrant? We don't have enough information to see how mentally culpable she is.
I know I shouldn’t but...........No sitting dead corpses around the dining room and chatting to them so he wasn’t lonely - thinking about it he was an all round normal guy
I’m unsure what you are trying to say. Fuck whether someone is mad kill them anyway?No sitting dead corpses around the dining room and chatting to them so he wasn’t lonely - thinking about it he was an all round normal guy

What a horribly sad thing to happen. What sort of situation would lead a woman to kill her own grandchild in front of his mother?
What bit ofWhat do you want to do? Understand her issues and okay a game of beetle drive? Out of interest would you ever want her as a next door neighbour
What bit of
"Hang her from the neck until she's dead"
do you not understand?
I agree with your side on this - I meant horribly sad for the kid and his parents.We should give granny a hug. She has issues.

Honestly, the intellectual capacity of some posters on here really makes the heart sink.
