RYAN C KIRKPATRICK punished for behaviors due to a mental illness diagnosis from early on. As time went on and behaviors were more severe the system punished more and more rather than helping a family that could not afford the treatment. Since ryan was locked up at age 19, now 25 kept in segregation the entire time, cut off several times from family and friends. I am not asking he be set free I am asking The State to honor a grant that was agreed upon by The IL DEPT of Mental Health when Ryan was 15 years old for treatment in a private facility however the judge that took over 2 days before sentencing said he would recieve the same trearment in DOC! Thank you all for your support
