he got really mad at him--
Ethan, he got
really mad at him,
and so...
um, Josh has guns that he hides
only from bad guys,
so he picked it up.
And it had no bullets in it,
but he picked it up.
The very last thing
that I want to do,
especially at 10 years old,
their child in a...
in an institution or in a home,
to give him up.
That's not what I want to do,
but I am at the point,
and it is as bad
that if-- if nothing else,
I don't know
that I have a choice.
It's becoming more
than a safety issue.
I have a daughter.
I have to protect her,
and I can't.
Creigh:
The wholedeinstitutionalization process
was driven by two things:
One, we wanted to save money,
and, second,
we wanted to restore
people's civil rights
and treat them
in the community.
Well, we closed
the institutions down,
but we didn't really
adequately follow through
with ensuring that there
are adequate supports
in the community.
And the problem
is we don't--
we just don't have
enough beds right now.
Thomas:
We went from
about 600,000 beds,
today there are less
than 60,000 public beds
for people with serious
mental illness.
It's raised the question about,
"Does there need to be a new
kind of institution?"
Maybe not like
the old asylums,
but places where
kids, young adults,
to get more
comprehensive care.
I think there
aren't enough options
available to people.
There is the sense
that rehabilitation
is a luxury for people
who have a lot of money
or who live in states
particularly good programs
because we have
regional networks,
and in some places
there's rehabilitation
and in some places
there's almost none.
(door closes)
William. This is the first time
that I've gotten a chance
to meet with you in...
we determined the other day,
like since January.
Like months.
Yeah, months.
Gosh, you have had
a really...
a very busy year, huh?
William:
Rough time.
It has been a rough time.
It's been a really rough time.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man:
And you reallywanna get back
to kind of a more
normal life, huh?
Yeah. Why can't I?
Man:
Yeah.Well, you know what?
That's a very good question.
Edie:
Yeah.Brian:
I met William
at the age of 12.
He has a mild
intellectual disability,
and also,
in addition, a mild
autism spectrum disorder.
He's also diagnosed
with a schizoaffective disorder,
and that is the condition
where he can,
especially when really emotional
and really elevated, and...
well, we also say
dysregulated...
