In the 1960's the ACLU helped empty the Insane Asylums because they were considered to be treating the mentally ill in inhumane ways. Now that the severely mentally ill roam freely among us, what do we do as a society to protect the rights of the sick without exposing the rest of us to unspeakable crimes?

Your right. The only way that I can think to reduce the possibilities would be a significant violation of human rights--namely, interview and test every shy and avoidant, bright teenager for signs of mental illness and then provide treatment. Not going to happen.
