It is virtually impossible to have even a child ‘commited’. Yes they will evaluate medicate, then send them home worse off than they wewe to begin with. There IS no meaningful help until they can be charged with a crime. By then it is too late for meaningful help to help. At that point it is blamed on the parents for not seeking help! Half the time when you DO seek help the ‘help’ you get is an investigation from child welfare.
You are absolutely right.
Sounds like you have experience.
Appalling the lack of understanding of the issue here on FR.
