Crazy women almost by definition do not have the social supports that would enable them access to child care. The kid is with them by default, not because they say, "Hey, I should choose to involve my child in something that I understand is crazy."

You make a strong argument for prophylactically taking their children away from them in view of this social ill. Well done.

That's not the first argument I would make given Clodfobble's post. I would first argue for universal, non-judgmental support. If you fear being mentally ill will necessarily mean you have to give up your kids then you won't seek treatment. The only social ill I see here is stigmatizing sick people in need of health care.
