While I don't agree with Republicans..they had nothing to do with closing the instutuions. First, this child would have resided at Fairview not the State Hospital as he has a developmental disability not a mental disorder. Second, Fairview was closed down after a group of parents of residents at the facility sued the state. The residents were then either brought home and mainstreamed or live in small group homes in your community. Instutions are no place to grow up, if you think he is violent now, imagine if he had been raised in a "cabin" with 40 other people.

This person can NOT stand trial. He needs to be in a mental institute. This is another example of the Republicans destroying this country. This kid should have been in a mental institute for years but of course your beloved Reagan cut funding and opened the doors of the state run mental institutes all those years ago.... As usual the Republicans have blood on their hands and take no responsibility for how or why they vote the way they do.
