Of course, instead of an ASBO it'd be easier to actually, like, give this woman medical help. But they won't do that: they'll wait for her to breach it, they'll jail her, and then collect her from her cell a week later swinging from the lightfitting.
thats why i dont like their introduction, simply because local authorities will use them instead of the methods that require evidence and are more idiotproof, makes doing something wrong a discretionary thing instead the easier thing, if they were used properly to disperse actual trouble makers for 6 months or so and then checked again in 6 months to see how they are theyd be okay
but they are used for anything the local authorities can get away with and i dont see many people appealing cause of cost
why i dont like discretionary powers with little proof required
What ever help she needs.
Is that too much to ask?
I'd suggest that she needs counselling, and a community support worker who spends time with her, builds a relationship with her, and encourages more positive activities wouldn't go amiss.
Jailing her if she gets suicidal won't help.
We throw her in prison so she attempts suicide by stuffing her mouth full of tissues so she suffocates or she tries to strangle herself by twisting her bed linen around her neck.
Erm, you asked a question - I answered it. Have all the counsellors left the country? All the social services and voluntary agencies shut down?
In reality both suggestions are possible.
ASBOs aren't the solution, but I don't see a credible alternative.
I don't think it will help her at all. It will perhaps solve the problem she creates though.
I don't think an ASBO is a solution for her. But it may be the solution for everyone her behaviour is affecting.
Shes been pulled out of a river three times.
Maybe, the problem would be solved if they didn't pull her out next time - then she can sink or swim.
:rolleyes:
Its about as humane as making her behaviour imprisonable.
Yes and suicide attempts are grounds.
Danger to herself.
We don't know any details of the case.
Therapy and possibly anti-depressants.
I've already told you that.
Of what form?
