The mother of an intellectually disabled girl who was allegedly led from school grounds by three male students and sexually assaulted in a Starbucks bathroom and a nearby empty building filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing Starbucks, Pittsburgh Public Schools and a property management company of negligence.

The lawsuit alleges that school personnel at Taylor Allderdice High School failed to provide adequate supervision and care of the girl during school hours and during transportation to and from school. It alleges that both the property management company 101 Kappa Drive Associates #1 and Starbucks managers were aware of the increasing crime issues near their businesses and failed to provide security or training for employees on how to respond to and report criminal activities.

I doubt many people here would disagree that we've greatly failed (at least in the US) at all things mental health.

That doesn't however give carte blanche to anybody who wants to spread misinformation, or hate. You keep referring to mental illness when the topic being discussed is mental disability; not the same topic and I'm pretty sure you know that.

You're paranoid, referring to a mysterious, unmentionable "they" looking over us all with puppet master's strings in hand, by definition the only person exhibiting mental illness in this comment section is you.

You then go on to refer to women as though they're some comical object to prove your point anout men. Maybe that is a reach, maybe only I perceived it that way, but it came off gross and I think you should know.

Your view of the world is dark, misinformed, and surprisingly hateful.
