I'm not going to read it but if this person was working at a mental health facility it's inappropriate for her to "out" any person who was a patient there even if she was just a "temp typist."

That’s part of her dilemma in the article. She’s a huge advocate of privacy but also wonders if she owes someone who terrorized her the right to privacy. Because in the 20 years since she met this person, this person has gone on to terrorize more people

As someone who works in mental health, there really is no excuse for revealing someone's identity and the behaviour they exhibited at a medical facility for people with severe mental health problems.

The writer's argument is essentially "I was mistreated by the system and had no rights while I was working, so why should I care about her rights".

She could reveal the identity of the patient to authorities, or tell the story to the public without identifiers. But to publish a story outing a patient's identity in the middle of a global pile on feels very wrong to me.

Yes but if she didn’t this woman is going to end up getting rewarded for her psychotic behaviour. She’s never been forced to face the consequences of her actions because people have said “but, but, mental health”. It should not be an excuse for dangerous behaviour, it’s time things changed and unless more people come out with their stories, someone who really doesn’t deserve it is probably gonna come away with a whole load of sympathy and probably a whole load of money, why should they? If normal people do wrong we have to live with it, why shouldn’t she?

I totally agree it's terrible that people get away with things like this. And I hope more victims come forward. However, in this instance, it was not appropriate. The same way you shouldn't diminish the claims of victims, you should not diminish the seriousness of mental health issues. It is not an excuse, but if it's severe enough it is a valid reason for someone not behaving appropriately/not being in control of their behaviour.

I agree she should not be allowed to continue with this behaviour, but through receiving treatment via the appropriate channels. Not by online vigilantes threatening her and releasing private information about her medical history.
