Unless you having training dealing with psychotics, it
is very difficult to know what to do when they start
creating problems. Our "default" social response
settings are useful for the majority of experiences we
have and those are with "normal" people. When someone
behaves outside of the normal range we usually still
apply our normal responses because we fail to
recognize what is actually happening. Wysong had no
training with psychotics and just assumed Sem was
behaving in a strange manner and needed to be watched.
He failed to recognize the incredible danger Sem
possed because of his lack of training. This is not
his fault, but an institutional failing in lack of
preparedness. Anyone in the mental health field that
has dealt with psychotics would have immediately
recognized Sem as an unmedicated, delusional, violent
psychotic after the first attack and would have called
the police to have him restrained and brought to a
recieving facility. This lack of traing and the MUM PR
concerns led to Levi's death.
