re: NYC teacher accused of sexual relationship with mentally ill student

I wonder how mentally ill this dude was, because he sure seems to have a grip on what was going on.

He's a 16 year old kid who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia for long enough to have been at that school long enough to have a "long sexual relationship" with that teacher. He must have had early and very acute onset of symptoms to get that diagnosis and be at that point. The other issue is a catch-all, it seems, diagnosis of "mood disorder".

Still, lock her arse up forever. The diagnosis just seems odd.
