Consider who they do this to. A single mom has no resources to fight with. Also, mentally ill patients usually don't have anyone to defend them. My cousin was a real menace and often did outrageous things. She made it to her twenties and then set a forest fire. She was hauled off to a psych ward were she died shortly afterwards of pneumonia. As she was always very healthy I found that highly suspicious, however no one asked too many questions as we just kind of realized it would go nowhere and besides, over the years she had never ceased to shock us with outrageous behavior. Like walking up behind an employee and hitting him in the spine with a hammer for no reason at all.
