PING
Unbelievable.
Kafkaesque
how very sad. Someone threw away a person, over a few bits of money.
Dear Lord. So often we do not comprehend what wonderful lives we have been blessed with. All of a sudden my job, the kids homework, and my boss are not so bad.
Wow!
Absolutely. Certainly makes you think.
I’m not going to jump to Dickensian conclusions here. Undoubtedly what was done to her was grossly unfair but I get the distinct impression she IS mentally retarded. Would a person of normal brain wattage have been so easily kept institutionalized for decades if she was of normally sound mind and didn’t want to be there? Would her parents so readily given her up to the system if they thought she didn’t belong there?
What can you say, just one more example of what happens with government in control.
That's exactly the word for it....
Though one might also suspect that there's a bit more to the story ... like, perhaps, she really was/is nuts, and the missing money was just (mistakenly) the final straw that led to her being institutionalized.
Amazing! Can anyone possibly imagine the horrors this woman went through by being wrongly locked up? I can’t.
Unbelieveable. And at the other extreme, here in the States, the mentally ill are dumped on the streets.
I thought Russians had invented bureaucrats, the French refined them and the British raised it to an art form.
Read the book “Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy” a very long satire of the British bureaucratic system.
What a shame! I sincerely hope that this poor woman was able to find a measure of happiness in the life she was locked in.
Some day, with the correct leadership, HillaryCare can provide us many such examples like this.
On the bright side, after 20 years she went nuts anyway.
In our country, if you are not a public threat (sadly, sometimes if you are) you are released into society.
There is no excuse for this.
I don't think I've ever heard of a worse travesty.
“Lost contact.”
Gee, guys, did it roll under the sofa maybe?
No wonder she’s not bitter. Losing such indifferent family members is no great loss.
