[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 629629, member: 1967"] MWM, I think it depends on where you live when it comes to having someone committed for threats of suicide. I called the police on my difficult child several times when she threatened to kill herself and was told by the police that it is not against the law to threaten to kill yourself so there was nothing that they could do. So, basically, here in GA, they have to follow through and hurt themselves or worse before they would be able to commit them. However, in Florida where difficult child lives now, they an be baker acted if they even threaten to kill themselves and it is an automatic 72 hour hold. They can even be baker acted if they don't participate in treatment which is why our interventionist really likes to send her clients to rehabs in Florida. comaheart, my heart is breaking for you. I'm so sorry that you are going through this nightmare. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
