So she was a kid... and kids make stupid decisions. Key word there being 'decisions'.
Unfortunately for the man being discussed in this thread, he has an illness that causes paranoid delusions and hallucinations, among other things. I don't believe he was in control of his decision making when he chased his friend/roommate with the knife. You can't simply tell him that doing this is unacceptable like you would with a child. I'm sure he's well aware of the severity of the situation and feels awful about it, but it was out of his control and at the time of the incident, this man's illness likely had him out of touch with reality.
