.......oookay then.Insurance executive Alberto Izaga suffered an "extreme and sudden" psychological breakdown which made him think the little girl was possessed by the Devil.
This sounds rather believable in this instance. Very very weird.Consultant psychiatrist Tim Exworthy said Mr Izaga may have thought she was possessed by the Devil. He said he remains profoundly mentally ill.
In the USA, we don't imprison the mentally ill, we rehabilitate and treat them.Originally posted by: Pacfanweb
Being a parent of two small children, I can safely say that anyone who does something like this is definitely mentally ill. And should be locked up for life.

Yeah, except for two things.
1)This didn't happen in the US.
2)If you are deemed to be criminally insane, you are locked up for a LONG time, probably indefinitely.

is there an implicit difference between criminally and mentally insane? Some disorders, which are deemed mental illnesses, are believed to be treatable. Are you saying that if it was a person mentally insane and committed a crime, they are criminally insane? That's the fine line of morality and ethics here, and I personally don't know where I stand. Technically, a treatment may work, and I think any insane person deserves to have their life back, and that original person typically dies inside.. but I mean, if you could extinguish the insane person, and leave the original mind intact (theoretically possible, depending on the illness and treatments).. then I say let them as they deserve it for suffering what will end up being a very long time. However, the risk that the mental illness merely lies dormant and could cause the person to relapse into another psychotic meltdown, is a very real threat. So, do we doom them all forever, to a life of empty white padded rooms? Even if, say, some of them are great candidates for treatment? And if that's the case, that still dooms some of them, but it makes sense: if we can't treat their disorder, and can't make them able to be safe, then they are screwed.

I know, we could have just dodged a bullet.

Just one more reason to not become an insurance agent... that line of work would feel so unrewarding to me. I'm sure it's one of the 1000 little things that led to this.

I'm amazed at the wife though. Se saw her daughter die and yet she's willing to forgive him and try to rebuild their lives. I'm not sure if I should be impressed and envious of that levl of dedication or consider her completely crazy
