(3,426 posts)and you know only a judge can order involuntary commitment . And you know that is a very sensitive and difficult thing for a judge to do.
And if you advocate increased monitoring of mental health patients ,where do you think the money will come from to provide such an operation ?
Here's a hint, most of the homeless persons living on the streets have serious psychological issues that require professional attention, but there is no help for them. The community clinics are over loaded .
The issue you are on is far greater than your experiences in life and far more complicated than you I think are able to get a mind wrap around.
In case you don't know, everything is about passing the buck. You can advocate all you like, the fact of the matter is the system is broken.
For crying out loud we do not expect cops to hold masters degrees in psychology, but get a little more educated on the topic before you advocate will ya.
Listen, it is far better to know than it is to think that you know.
