DENVER — New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced this week his plan to allow city workers to more aggressively intervene to get people into treatment, describing"a moral obligation" to act, even if it means involuntarily hospitalizing some.
Sharp Dunnit said there were times when her son was able to be stabilized, maintain a medication routine, get a job and housing and live a relatively normal life. However, the length of time that period would last started getting shorter and shorter. Then, Drew started to become violent. Most recently, her son was able to get housing in a wellness facility, but was kicked out for not following the rules, such as bathing regularly. Sharp Dunnit said the facility told her Drew’s needs were beyond what the facility could provide, so he was released.
“When I say jail is the best place, that doesn't mean jail is a good place. Jail is a horrible place. He's not getting the treatment he needs,” she said. “We're fighting for our children's lives, and we're fighting for other moms and their children's lives. We're not going to be quiet and we're not going to go away,” she said.
