I Believe Life Is a Life Long Lesson

To get a non voluntary "mental" hospitalization (5150), a person must be determined a threat to themselves or others. This has to be done using police assistance.

But in mental hospitals people are regularly coerced or lied to to get them there and once there they are simply locked in after information is fabricated. This is patently illegal yet this is done probably MORE than not.

What think intelligent SWeeps? Got outrage, anyone?

Do you know anyone actually in the mental health field? The want the patients out of there asap, there aren't enough beds to go around otherwise. I don't think it is done more than not.

@Starcrossed Are u asking me?

The "system" wants to scam $$$ off these illegal places and the poor suckers railroaded into them. That is why they (still) exist. That blather about "closing" them was vicious lying PR to keep them OPEN...but NICER looking on the outside.

I started hearing that blather around 1965.

Also the scam is BIGGER now so less patients need to be exploited to achieve the crime.

That's 4 you Starcrossed.

Everything here is such a bloody UPHILL fight.
