[QUOTE="klmno, post: 306814, member: 3699"] Yes, if he's a danger to self or others they can hold him. However, there will need to be a commitment hearing before a judge but the requirements for that will depend on your state law. They pertain to how old the child is and if the child is staying willingly, what the psychiatrist recommends (which goes a long way), and what the law says about how long a psychiatric hospital can hold the child. The guardian/parent is allowed to be a part of the hearing unless it's a situation of abuse. [/QUOTE]
