Social & emotional disorders characteristicly appear when youngsters become 20-somethings instead of teenagers. Psychiatrists hesitate, nay refuse, to diagnose schiz & paran before the patient is 21. This for a reason. The extent of social necrosis isn't observable until the patient is outside the family's protection.
My late brother was exactly like M.Vick, even did some similar things on the field, I think it was to some guy playing for Houston. But everyone made excuses for him, even the Criminal Justice System, and he was bounced around until it was too late to fix anything.
This is such a complex and interwoven problem that it is impossible for me, with 40 years of hindsight, 20+ years of education, 12 or 14 years of playing and 12 years of officiating to follow any of these threds of extra-curicular violence to its cause.
Someone out there with more money and motivation than good sense is going to try to fix this guy with money and it ain't going to work.
Instead he needs to be subjected to a complete psychiatric intake reviewm hospitalized until a program to address his social necrosis is in place, treatment has proceeded and a successful prognosis is the consensus of the treatment team.
Now ... who's gonna pay for it?
Who is both socially and financially responcible for his being this way. The family that birthed him; the school system that passed him along or the society in general that over-arches both of the microcosms.
