why hasn't his family locked him up?

Same reason why Trump’s family has not done a mental health intervention. For the Trump family it’s all about Power. For the Kennedy’s those brave ones already sacrificed too many with their lives. Power corrupts and it takes brave souls to step up.

They are too embarrassed to even try. Their denial of him is pretty damning.

In the Kennedy clan, to be shunned by the family is an extreme last resort. My interpretation is that, whatever reason(s) the clan as a whole decided to put RFK Jr on the "Shun List", it has to be extremely appalling & disturbing.

Rosemary Kennedy had mild -- emphasis mild --mental slowness due to birth complications when her mother decide she was going to hold the baby in instead of having a doctor that wasn't hers.

so, because her father was embarrassed by what were again minor mental health issues as described here:

https://people.com/politics/letters-jfk-sister-rosemary-kennedy-lobotomy/

he had her lobotomized and institutionalized for life.

her siblings wouldn't see her for years, and when they did again they were so horrified the advocated for the original Americans with Disabilities Act --she's literally the reason we have it.

so,because Joe Kennedy was embarrassed , he destroyed his daughter, and now the family overcorrects in the other direction when it comes to mental illness - they don't act at all.

adding to this, this is the most generous version of what he did. a lot of the other stories about it claim that she was just very outspoken and not particularly disabled at all mentally --just socially unacceptable because she was a woman who spoke her mind--which adds to the horror of the situation.

Google her name.

Rose was the mother's name. Rosemary was the daughter. I'm very aware of what her father had done to her.

Thank you for clarifying and fixing, Dot. I agree with the "What about her?" post in that I won't go look at such time-occupying urls but would prefer the explanation of why to go there, that you then supplied, come first. Or some shorter summary of it to let me know whether I would want to go read or see that. Not picking on you; I often don't follow mere urls. Usually, I need a title at least.

Posting a long url without any title or mention of what it's about is a sure way for me to not look at it. It is a lazy post that doesn't get read by me, at least. Not picking on Dot particularly. Amidst the hundreds of things I look at in a day, helpful titles or explanations let me and others know whether to click on an untitled url or not.

He’s not all there. During his confirmation hearing he didn’t know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. That should a pretty simple question for someone with a college education.

I was vaccinated and I have an IQ of 136. I am also a an RN with a BSN. I have more medical experience than this idiot. Maybe we just let the idiots die and call it natural selection.

I have had numerous vaccinations and I have an IQ of 140. What is wrong with people? Thank God my parents believed in science. When the polio vaccine came out, they made sure I was vaccinated ASAP. But then these anti vaccination people have not seen the damage done by diseases such polio--I have. My childhood was filled with images of iron lungs and braces.. My father was a GP and I was a CNA and yet I have more medical knowledge than RFK, Jr.

Annie Ball's avatar

Yes I too had experience growing up with the tragedies of polio- braces, permanent disability, iron lungs, deaths-both young & old. Anyone who has done any health service in 3rd world countries has seen the devastation of no vaccines.

My father was a polio victim and his brother died. I had a neighbor who contracted measles as an adult, nearly died and spent 1 week in ICU and 3 weeks in the hospital. I hate these people. If they were the only ones who would be impacted, it might be alright.

Viruses are not our friends as Covid showed us and I’m vaccinated against shingles after seeing a friend get it and was in serious pain. This guy is just a conspiracy theorist.

I mostly have ignored JFKjr. Now I know why. His voice is gratingly unbearable. And he is freaking nuts. I think he made up all the anti-health statements he spouts, that he believes are true. He doesn't make sense to me. He single-handed will decimate the US population, maybe twice that.

Pat Berryhill's avatar

I’m with you. Just want to point out one little thing that you may not be aware of. His voice is the way it is because he suffers from Spasmodic Dysphonia. I have it as well. It’s a neurological disorder and it absolutely sucks. It’s VERY difficult to speak at times and we all sound like this to varying degrees. Most people with our disorder don’t like to claim him because he’s a complete nutcase. But his voice is really nothing he can control - there is no known cure - and not likely to be one with him in charge of HHS.
