Movie

In my Intro. to Film class, we watch a Korean film titled "Mother". It about an Autistic teen who gets arrested for killing a girl in the village. The police were interrogating him without a lawyer or his mother being present, they just railroaded this poor child into signing a confession. It makes me wonder how many "mentally challenged" people we have in jails? Do the mentally challenged understand the consequences of their actions or confessions? I can see that if this boy had had some services offered to him this whole situation might have been avoided. This was a realization to me that I was starting to put my knowledge of OT into real life circimstances.
