Another fact: Society failed to educate him properly using taxpayer money.

Perhaps society deserves to face the consequences of its actions.

I agree with you and have even more to add -

Even more fun fact - the taxpayer money that will likely eventually be used to rescue this person, potentially saving their life, is an infinitesimal waste compared to so very many other things. I'm not ever going to shame someone or expect them to be billed/prosecuted/etc for their rescue unless they criminally broke the law in order to arrive at that state. (and maybe not even then)

You can only teach someone as much as they're willing to learn.

You’ve hit the nail on the head there. They didn’t teach him.
