    Wait, are we blaming others for her OWN decison here?NOT RESPONSIBILE:911 operators Police officersParamedicsFire fightersEMTsDoctorsFriendsFamily NeighborsRESPONSIBILE:Pamela AntoniAll of those I listed under not responsible did everything they were expected to do. None of them are responsible. SHE TRIED TO GET HELP 9 TIMES AND REFUSED PROPER TREATMENT EVERY TIME. SHE WAS NEVER DEMEED AN ACTUAL THREAT TO HERSELF OR OTHERS OTHERWISE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON INVOLUNTARY PSYCHIATRIC HOLDS!!! This world needs to stop BLAMING others for the decisions of others and start ACCEPTING that this was a conscious choice someone made.

    I have asked for mental health for my family... we have been waiting for 3 yrs... we have been told that unless we attempt suicide, are on drugs or part of a letter, so there is no help. we can't get help for dealing with a cancer diagnosis in one of our kids... i screamed to finally get a nurse for my boys to talk to. we have called every provider around the state.... no one will take our insurance, and the cash amount has risen that I can't pay for 2 kids to seek help, let alone the parents. if we lived in Portland Dornbeckers, would help our child with cancer... but not the family. I grew up here, and services were better 40 years ago.. your best bet is to be a color, druggie, a letter or homeless... they dont care about you.
