By Katrin Kuntz, DER SPIEGEL @ The Mentally Ill in Indonesia Are Often Put in Chains and Locked Up - SPIEGEL ONLINE

A truly horrid story with unnerving photos at above link. Don't click unless you have strong nerves.

Not far from the glistening beaches of Bali, mentally ill people are kept in chains or locked up in small shacks. Locals simply don't know what else to do with them. But psychiatrist Luh Ketut Suryani has made it her job to set them free.

Before Luh Ketut Suryani leaves paradise, she applies lipstick in the rearview mirror of her SUV. Suryani wants to look good when she encounters the horrors of the day. On this particular morning, she selects a deep red color.
:(:(
 
Developing countries could sell the mentally ill to scooter people in the US.
