Absence of tragedy relief is the ultimate culprit Hepu

West Town, Guangxi Autonomous Region on the 12th at the tragic scene, an adult suddenly brandished a knife and stabbed passers-by, causing
Way of a primary school and an old people were hacked to death and another five people were chopped.
Local authorities respond to this tragedy and fast, Beihai City (Hepu go under the jurisdiction of the North Sea) party secretary Wang Xiaodong heard the news immediately made instructions on where to take prompt measures to arrange the best doctors with the best drugs to treat the injured, and ordered the education sector warning, giving top priority to check the security work to strengthen the students, teachers and students to ensure personal safety.
The instructions of the Party Secretary, may wish to split into two for consideration, the first half of instruction, regardless of politics said, the Government stresses human responsibility or have the case handled. There is half the problem, confused the responsibility to implement the main, the board obviously the wrong place. At least not hit the main responsibility for “people” who —- as attack upon is mentally ill.
Mental illness in the private sector have “culture”, “Wu” in others, the first category of mentally ill patients, if untreated depression eventually die very often; suffering from a class after the mentally ill, when the onset of violence and acts of its from my subjective sense of control, knife-wielding assailants killed or injured people, set fire to houses, is not responsible for the criminal pursuit. Clearly, the spirit of the streets Hepu knife attack case series of patients after a group of patients.
Department of the mentally ill from the criminal law binding legal orders of States, 1980 assassination of then U.S. President Ronald Reagan, the ultimate assassin Hinckley was exempt because of mental disorders, criminal liability; the Japanese legal system in 1998 hit film “Criminal Law Article 19″, more violence of mental patients is not illegal deduction to the utmost.
In China, mental illness due to lack of necessary treatment and care lost due to homicide case after another, give an almost extreme example, only in October 2005 in Hefei, in just 4 days, the first of its biological father of a mentally ill cut kill, and then another to the way mental patients were hacked to death. Finally, the two murder victims are nothing with this end.
From this view, the tragedy of the lessons Hepu, Party secretary of the local education department ordered the “Check to strengthen security work ……”, students clearly are” sake of making criticisms. ” Notwithstanding the safety of students working to strengthen further strengthen the education sector can not identify the pedestrian street, who is mentally ill, is the ability to identify and can not confirm that when a knife attack in patients with ah!
Currently the number of mental patients are no official statistics, individual provinces such as Guangdong province, the latest statistics of severe mental illness has more than 120 million people. In reality, constitutes an invisible threat to innocent people Zuitai community spirit is not the proportion of patients, but the majority of mentally ill family poverty, and basic medical insurance system on the huge masses of long-ignored community. If so, when, after the family destitute because of mental patients, family members often to give up custody of the social discontent to vent, this is a small number of mental patients in a variety of uncertain situations the true line of fire to kill “social cause”, is such a tragedy continue to occurred “ultimate culprit.”
A small number of family members of patients about social responsibility, a kind of economic conditions permit, to simply send their loved ones caused by mental illness long-term care; those which stress social responsibility and economic constraints, are often implemented for sick relatives, “family detention.” For example, the individual watchmaker Huang Kunping Shenzhen illness in 2003, the three spent all their savings out of the hospital, beaten in several shock neighbors, on the road to intercept vehicles Za Boli, the family had chained Huang Kunping feet off at home. ….. this after the media exposure led to “personal liberty” to discuss, but ultimately it is a “war of words” only.
Reason why the government really wants to avoid innocent people with mental illness will no longer personal property damage, the only way to resolve international practice, as soon as possible for the country to establish a special mental health insurance system in critically ill patients, those violent mental patients, uniform implementation of the basic “national health”, on which were difficult to cure, then, after the founding of the PRC against leprosy, as the implementation of national “treatment plus pension for life.”
