[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 280014, member: 1436"] Tracy---you can have someone involuatarily committed. It is called different names in different state. I call it being Baker Acted. Here it is done through my local probate office---don't know why--they usually deal with estates and wills---anyway, I went in, filled out paperwork. The paperwork was sent to the judge. He signed it. I then took the paperwork to my sheriff's office. I talked to them, told them the situation, told them that he was ill and needed treatment. I went home, called him, told him to come home. I then called the sheriff's dept. and they sent an officer over. The officers were very nice. They talked to him compassionately and explained everything they were doing. He was handcuffed for transport. They took him to the local emergency where a pysch. doctor was waiting. A bed was found for him in another town and they transported him there. [/QUOTE]
