Convicted animal killer to be released in months

Locking people up and pumping them full of drugs hasn't proven to be effectual in many cases. Out patient therapy with strict conditions seems to be appropriate in this case,

I don't think the immediate focus should be on what works for her - it's about potential victims and ensuring public safety. Out patient is with a risk incurred to the public, so what if it fails? The price is too high in that...institutionalize her until some form of stability is confirmed, THEN consider "out patient" treatment. It just isn't worth taking a chance.

There is a reason that logic and pragmatism dwell in the minds of "women" in general, and Deb and BB in particular .. years of dealing with CDC male folk? .. I think so ..

She should be institutionalized indefinitely pending successful treatment, if that is possible .. she may never be a "free" woman, and if so, so be it ..

Society is faced with this dilemma due to funding being slashed in Mental Health Care in BC .. many "homeless" folk were put on the street due to funding priorities ..

From the recent CBC.ca article (I have no idea what article the OP quoted):

One psychologist who spoke with Kayla Bourque ahead of her sentencing Wednesday in Vancouver Provincial Court testified she will likely require supervision for the rest of her life.

Other doctors described her as a sexual sadist and narcissist with anti-social personality disorder and sociopathic tendencies.

"It is clear that Ms. Bourque is a very unique and troubling case," said Judge Malcolm Maclean as he delivered what he described as "probably one of the most comprehensive probation orders I've ever done."

Bourque pleaded guilty in October to killing or injuring an animal, causing unnecessary suffering and pain to an animal and possessing a knife and was arrested earlier this year.

She has already been in custody for six months, but MacLean gave her an additional two months in custody, in part so probation officials can prepare for her highly supervised release.

MacLean said Bourque's mother does not want her daughter living in the family home. Once released from jail, a Vancouver police high risk offender team will escort her to her new residence.

She's not allowed to have anyone in her home from 6 pm to 6 am and anyone who does visit must be made fully aware of the charges she pleaded guilty to and their circumstances.

She can't associate with anyone under the age of 18 or possess computer software to access the internet. MacLean also forbade her from accessing social networking sites or possessing duct tape, hypodermic needles or knives.

The probation order will be reviewed in three months after her release from custody. MacLean also banned Bourque from owning any animals for life.

So if you're unlucky and unfortunate enough to be the one whose child or family member is murdered or victimized by this psycho when she slips her 'handlers' will you still feel the same? When the crime committed against your loved one could have been prevented in the first place? Look right now at those you love and ask yourself if you really want them encountering Kayla Bourque in her sexually sadistic or homicidal mode...yeah, didn't think so.

The bleeding hearts beating their chests until it's too late.......then who are you going to blame when someone's dead or someone's child is sexually tortured and killed?

Remove her from society now, It's too late after she has killed an innocent party.

Also: I don't see how you can throw someone in jail for fantasizing about committing a crime...

Not jail. She obviously needs intensive treatment/medication/monitoring and, unless someone is commited to being with her 24/7, she poses a serious threat to the public and should be institutionalized during the course of that.

As for "can't and won't"......our comments are directed at the fact that this needs fixing. It's no good to throw out a "we can't (afford it)" excuse anymore. Priorities, it's all about priorities.
