That scenario might happen if people who are insane managed to manifest
symptoms early on. They don't. Many go along for years acting perfectly
normal -- in fact, being normal. Later in life, something triggers their
latent propensity and they begin to hear voices or want to buy condominiums
or whatever. So long as they are not a threat to themselves or others, they
can just soldier on until they are dead broke. It would be ever so much
better all around if a competent person could be assigned guardianship. It
would save the state money and the relatives grief.
The way things are now, I don't see anyone out there identifying children as
being insane -- ADHD, maybe, but that's still not insane.
