There are often medical reasons which are the causes of such actions--for example: Asperger's Syndrom which is a higher functioning form of Autisim as well as Bipolar Disorder--which are no one's fault. Unfortunately more people are interested in who is to blame then simply working to solve some if not all of the problems they cause.
