Son decapitates mother, couldn't get meds in time

[Luddly Neddite]

This is the son who beheaded his mother and kicked her head along the street before jumping under a train in New York.

Mentally-ill Derek Ward, 35, decapitated his 66-year-old mother, Patricia, on Tuesday night before dragging her body outside their apartment in Farmingdale, New York, in what neighbours thought at first was a Halloween prank.

It was claimed today Prof. Ward was two days away from an appointment to get Derek the medication he had been without for four days, that could have saved her life.

'She had an appointment set up for (Friday),' her brother, the Rev. Robert Lubrano, told the New York Daily News. 'She finally met a compassionate psychiatrist, but she'll never make it to see him.'

Describing Derek as a 'sick, sick boy', Rev. Lubrano said Derek had battled psychiatric issues for ten years, but had never shown any signs of violence.

He said: 'He killed my sister because we couldn't get the prescriptions he needed. For four days, he didn't have his meds.

'She's dead because he had a mental illness, and we didn't know how serious it was. We're in terrible shock. She was a wonderful person.'

Derek had apparently sat with his mother's mutilated body for a few minutes inside their blood-spattered home following the brutal attack before taking it outside and kicking her head 20 feet.

Neighbours initially thought it was part of a Halloween prank and tried to pick up the body. As they were doing so, Derek jumped in front of an oncoming Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train.

Rev. Lubrano told the paper Derek, who had attention deficit disorder and was dyslexic, was too old to be covered by his mother's insurance and they struggled to find a doctor who would accept Medicaid.

But he said they finally found one at a cost of $200 for a 20 minute visit, adding that his sister did 'everything she could to keep him alive'.

What an incredible attack and degree of insanity.

Sad. Beyond sad.

People should not be forced to go without treatment.

Too bad we didn't pass ObamaCare when we had the chance

 

[Rozman]

Wasn't O'Care supposed to fix shit like this?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Single payer would have prevented it, I'm sure of it

 

[DigitalDrifter]

When he took her head outside and kicked it, did he yell "Gooooooaaaaaalll !!!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

^ Why ObamaCare was fucked from the start

suffered from psychiatric problems for ten years

also from you link

For four days, he didn't have his meds.

So , are we to believe that for 3,646 days he had meds, but some how the family just couldn't find a way to get those meds for those last 4 days?

Why wasn't this guy committed to some kind of facility?

Sounds to me like the mom decapitated herself, the son was merely the weapon

 

[Tom Sweetnam]

I think it would have taken a semi full of medication to fix this lunatic.

 

[Sunni Man]

Beheading seems to be quite fashionable these days. .......

 

[Rozman]

If only someone had read the bill before they passed it....

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Predictably, some of you "missed" the key word:

Medicaid.

Medicaid.

Translation, it's the taxpayers fault if he missed any of his doses.

 

[gipper]

Yeah...if only we had a bigger more controlling government, these terrible things would not happen.

Oh the wonderful nature that is government...it solves all our problems...

True!

Zeke Emmanuel would have deemed the kid an Untermenschen and had him executed

Medicaid that doctors won't accept. Which is what has been wrong with obamacare all along.

If mother knew her son was this sick she should have called the police for a medical hold.

 

[depotoo]

You have no idea how hard it is to get someone committed. And under a commitment, as soon as they are stabilized , they are released with orders to take their meds. It is a sad situation for families.

God forbid a family provide their own medication

They obviously needed a prescription for it, which takes a doctor
