Why don't we recognize serious perps as "dangers to themselves and others" and send them off for eval and meds like we do suicides? There are meds and tx available for anger management and psychotic rage. Instead, we blame the victims, trying to get them to be mind readers, and punish them, especially the children, by making them live in shelters and safe houses as fugitives while the perps get out immediately and are free to offend again with no tx, no meds, no psychiatric record, free to buy guns in many cases and much more angry than before. No wonder more victims don't turn the abusers in. Surely, we can pass a law that says it's insane to abuse those who love you, especially your children? The attitude seems to be that its reasonable to lose your temper with your family members and fly into a psychotic rage that does put "others" at risk. But often the victims aren't considered people who count. Why is this? Why in this day and age do we still blame the victims?
