Our country has long overlooked the needs of the mentally ill...............they have long overlooked our young and their needs ...........IF we don't address these needs with programs, facilities and financial assistance I can assure you there is a group that is NOT overlooking these kids........but fear not, they will send them back home again...........................................raven

I saw a report about her recently. She met a guy online and was planning to travel to the ME to marry him. Good grief, are people really that desperate to belong to something?

Good points about needed services but we can't keep cutting revenue and expect to be able to expand support services.

In every generation - back to caveman, we have loons. That girl and others who side with our enemies often times think they are being trendy, fashionable, etc. They think it's fun because they saw something in a movie or watched and played a video game. Yes, they are mentally ill and mentally immature - maybe even had sheltered and privileged lives.

Sure, if they go and join ISIS or whomever they will get sent home - in a casket.

She is a traitor.

It's too bad she only faces 5 years in prison.

Often times, teenagers, and early 20-somethings, want to "buck the man", thumb their nose at authority. I mean, in the 60's and 70's, the hippies did. That's what this young generation is doing. I don't agree with it. But, I think that's what's going through their fool heads.

I agree that our country has long overlooked the needs of the mentally ill. Many programs were reduced or have diminished.

But...I do not think this girl is mentally ill. I think she was looking for a thrill. That guy woo'd her telling her she was special and powerful.

I don't see evidence that she's mentally ill, either. She reminds me of the women that line up to marry serial killers, like Manson. And it's certainly not new, look at Bonnie of Bonnie & Clyde and other young women who took off with criminal types.

Agreed.

I don't believe this girl is mentally ill. Of course it's a miracle they didn't use it as a defense. Too many use mental illness as an excuse for criminal behavior or as a defense.

Some people were just born bad.

Agreed and I ask the OP again,

how does that fall squarely on our generation's (well, I added the apostrophe) shoulders?

And exactly which generation would that be?

And not deep thinkers. Women like the one above seem to romanticize bad guys. We're always hearing about this kind of thing, look at the 13 year old that took off with an 18 year old just a couple of weeks ago. Then there was the woman that hung out with Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.

Everybody knows we have insufficient facilities and services for the mentally I'll but nobody wants to pony up the funds that would be necessary to adequately serve them. We used to have many more hospitals and schools for the mentally I'll but they've gradually been closed. I feel for the families of such people. What is a little old lady to do with a big, hulking son over whom she has no control but can't live alone? We had such a situation in Albuquerque and one day, off his medication, he killed 5 people including two police officers. He's now at the only taxpayer supported facility in NM, which is for the criminally insane.

NO child (or animal) asks to be born, and is born "bad"; it's us adults who mess them up.

If we spent at least as much money on mental health as we do physical, the world would be a better place, one of much less suffering.

I agree with you about supporting mental health treatment and research, but there are people born with a deficit.

What we call psychopaths and some sociopaths are born that way, without a conscience and without the ability to empathize. Ted Bundy was an example.

I agree no one asks to be born (human or animal). However, there are those who are born bad they don't need anyone to mess them up, they are just born that way.
