It is in Canada, but I would imagine their legal system isn't that different from the US. What do you all think about this? I guess the judge thought that if he went to jail, he would for sure be someone's girlfriend. And do you think that alternative sentences like this one could do more harm or more good?

We have some problems in society and judicial system with people who are intermittent threats to society.

The judge lets them go with orders to get some kind of treatment. Some of them do not get that treatment & consequently put society at greater risk & they are caught and back in front of a judge.

The guy in the VA Tech Massacre ... he was diagnosed bad mental health problems, ordered to do outpatient treatment, he never got it, he got worse. The problem to be fixed there is that when someone is released ordered to get such treatment, there needs to be followup so the court knows if he not get it within X days and takes approopriate action to protect society,

There was the woman in LA who went to the emergency room but the nurses too busy to attend to her, Several people called 911 from inside the emergency room & they were in trouble because 911 is not supposed to be used from a hospital so the police came and arrested the dying woman. That is a system that is totally broken on several levels.

Paris Hitton was caught drunk driving, had her drivers license suspended, ordered to get alcohol treatment. She was in total denial, condinued driving DUI without the license, did not get the alcohold treatment.

There needs to be a process where people who are ordered to get some treatment, they file papers with the court acknowleging they getting the treatment from where, with the from where also filing papwerwork with the court that the treatment is for real, the person doing the right thing. If this paperwork not filed, the court needs to follow up with either the broken institution or the person at risk to society.

We have sexual predators, people with HIV, other risks to society. I feel like they need to be wearing some identification, like one of those GPS ankle bracelets to serve multiple purposes. Like a NASA 911 ... if any harm comes to this person from hostile persons in society, they are to be rapidly rescued before the hostile persons do more trouble. The NASA 911 bracelet would also capture evidence of the troublemaker, so that soon that person in the same boat.

That seems absurd. Are they going to follow him around to make sure he doesn't find a new girlfriend? He should be sent to a mental hospital for 3-4 years.

This ruling must have been handed-down by the judge as an experiment. Bizarre as all get out, though.

i imagine that's too lengthy. try some thing like: Ariel set foot into the haunting air of the useless-silent grounds. a chilly vibration of operating ants were despatched up her backbone, leaving her plagued by goose-bumps.
