Mental heath is almost at catastrophic levels, and has massive ramifications on individuals.

Sorry dont agree. Mental health issues can make you make wrong decisions. And taking drugs or drink can be both if them
If he can’t live his life without putting the lives of others at risk (or his own life) he needs to be detained under whatever Australia’s equivalent of the Mental Health Act is.
Most people with MH difficulties can and do still have the capacity to know the difference between right and wrong, and understand that actions have consequences. If he’s beyond that, action needs to be taken to protect him and others from the danger he poses.

The allegations that the Sydney club were accused of trying to cover from his wife about beatings she took from him over a period of time including when she was pregnant make grim reading
He's then got in a car without the required liecence under the influence of drugs to pick up his very young kids
I wouldnt be making excuses for him myself personally

I myself have had mental health issues and some of the decisions I have made would no doubt make some of you on here slag me off the same as SB. Do I condone the things hes accused of? No of course not but do i understand the dark places mental health can take you? Unfortunately yes i do. Dont judge anyone until you have walked a mile in his shoes. Some of the comments on here just show to me the lack of knowledge and unfortunately the lack of understanding of Mental health. The stigma has been broken they say. Well I'm not so sure. Stay safe every one

The blatant lack of understanding of the impact of mental illness on here shows why so many men choose to bottle it up.

It is crippling; your mind simply does not work. To suggest all these should be incarcerated is taking us ack to the Victorian era and definitely a retrograde step.

SB now has the opportunity to get help and support he may need to move towards the right direction but nothing i s guaranteed. That's how difficult mental illness is.

I don't doubt that but haven't seen anything? I'm not surprised either, it did seem a tad dubious.
