They should have taken the boy to a hospital with a mental ward.

They never have beds and don't want to hold people anymore. Our hospitals do whatever they need to do to get them out of their purview as quickly as possible. If he'd have been lucky, he'd have gotten pink-slipped for 72 hours. But he'd have been turned out the minute that time expired.

72 hours is better than what he did have. He would still be alive. He would have been given his meds. He would have been stabilized.
