The seriously mentally ill are usually the first to be thrown  overboard when budgets can no longer afford them. Almost as evil, is the refusal of Ontario's Hospitals to give them emergency care and security when SMI  and their families come  to hospitals for help with offspring who are in the midst of dangerous psychotic conditions . These families are sent home with very ill loved ones and in fear of what could happen there without even a nurse's station to run to for help.
