A local parent said he’s wary of the more remote areas in the park,

Almost impossible. Only a crazy person would do that. Can you
imagine how complicated it must be to rape someone while riding a
bicycle?

Weird. Doesn't Trump's "biggest and bestist heathcare EVER"

Next MAGA-hats will be defending the "crazy people's" right to
buy guns. LOL.

PS Aproximately 1-1.5% of any population is psychotic(usually
schizophrenic). They have NO IDEA they're crazy. Only an efficient
public health system can identify and ensure they get adequate free
treatment. And of course, keep them away from guns.

It used to be that people like that got put away in facilities. Then,
in 1963, the jackasses in the government decided that was wrong, and
turned them all loose. Like you say, many emotionally disturbed people
have no idea they are emotionally disturbed and are not going to
voluntarily submit to treatment.

  I worked for a while as a psychiatrist in a government
facility for the mentally impaired. Schizophrenics and people with
very low IQs were quite happy there. No walls or fences, they worked
in a community garden that produced vegetables or in a "factory" that
produced hand-made utilities. Way better off there than on the
streets, at a minimal cost.
Not sure, but I think most of Europe works like that too...
  There is no way this sort of thing can be "privatized", or
you'll have "businessmen" paying doctors to label people psychotic so
they work for free.
Note that most sociopaths are NOT psychotic. They can be a
real problem, they often refuse to work and are always running off to
get money to buy alcohol or drugs. Sometime jail is the best place for
them.

Quite sensible.
But here in USA, the widely publicized abuses at a few government run institutions created demand for dissolution and here we are.  The present situation is unfair to taxpayers, unfair to crime victims and unfair to the addled themselves, with no changes imminent.
