INSANELY DANGEROUS

In January 2004, Niels hijacked a train

A TV-crew was on the spot. They found this was not a story about a hijacker, but the story of a psychotic man not getting the proper help and the story of how his madness influences other people’s lives.

During the past 20 years, the number of mentally ill committing crimes has quadrupled. Often psychiatrists and families have to remain passive while the mentally ill person becomes more and psychotic and dangerous. Legislation makes it difficult to keep the mentally ill in treatment, if they are not convicted.
