Reply to comment by HPenguinB in When another detective asked Eckersley why she left the baby, she said, “What do they tell you when a plane goes down? Save yourself first,” the affidavit stated. After that, “Eckersley told (the) detective to ‘fuck herself’ and that she was done talking.” by Dependent_Season_669

Her family has money, the issue is that nobody has any authority to intervene until something this blatant occurs. And if they did, long-term in-patient care is close to nonexistent now.

Yes, as someone else mentioned our state hospital in NH is a shadow of what it used to be even as the state has grown and the need with it. We do have cages and cells for the convicted though, and mentally ill people locked in them right on the old hospital grounds. Bty of course all that only comes into play -after- a tragedy occurs, becuz 'murica.
