Pretty sad to hear and I don't blame the mother for anything she says.

Meanwhile Tim's family, who I think should have priority in cases like this, was left to fend for themselves. And Tim's mother is being made out as a nuisance in all of this for disagreeing with Li's release.
Can't say that I disagree with what Charles or Carol say. Li is being made into this poster child and a victim in all of this. When in reality it's Tim and his family who are the true victims. Some in this thread might not agree with all she says. But she's in the unfortunate position of being forced into this position.

That isn't a failure of our justice system. It's a failure of our health care system. In general most in this thread would favour more mental health spending which helps victims and prevents future victims before the justice system gets involved.
