Mom: Accused Wash. Killer 'Desperately Mentally Ill'

What does it take to get our government to help people that are metally ill? I was married to a man who suffers like Isaac Zamora. Andy, my ex husband suffers with alcholism and mental health issues. Andy has made statements like "I want to show Timothy McVey how it is suppose to be done, he targeted the wrong government buildings." Recently, He took an exacto knife to his throat and slit his neck several times. He told me he wanted to do specific things to government agencies and planned to set his home on fire with himself in to hide evidence. I reported all these things to the police and when they went to his home they did not find anything to alarm them other than some pot and that his neck was bandaged but not bleeding. They left. The next day I went to his home to plead with him to get help. He agreed he would go the next day with his mother. On September 5, 2008; We managed to get him to Stevens hospital in Edmonds. There he was taken and had a blood alcohol level over 200. They were amazed he was even walking. Andy did become combative and they were forced to place him in four point restraints and custody. Today he is involuntarily placed at Sedro Woolly where he will be held for three days. After that time they will take him to the courts to see if the judges feel he needs to be committed or not for more evaluation, detox, and medication for mental health. His family members and myself have made affidavits requesting the courts to keep him longer in custody to ensure his safety and others. He still states suicidal and homicidal ideation. His mother and I spent all day Sat. and now today Sun. removing all his belongings from the apt. he is being evicted from. Among the personal belongings we found letters of threats to government buildings, and lists of names he wanted to "take out" in the attic of his apartment we found five gas cans that he plan to use to set his place on fire. Please understand this situation is still in the beginning process and I am doing the best I can to protect others and Andy. So many times we are reactive to a situation because it is too late. I have a chance to prevent something from happening and I will do everything I can to avoid any being harmed by him. Even if it means having him committed for a long time.
