I know a mother in SF whose son did not sink. He has a job and a steady gf now and lives in some subsidized housing for mi people - SF is good with that type of assistance. But she had to go through surrendering him, for she was unable to deal with him and her younger daughter did not deserve to be in that kind of environment.

In her case, the father of the children committed suicide many years ago so the genetic history is not very positive, but the son was able to stabilize himself on his own with assistance from the state.
