I know he had a lawyer at his commitment hearing. He was named on another thread.
"(This applies more to the private mental health and substance abuse facilities than the public sector.)"
Sounds like voluntary commitments to me, based on what goes on around here.
"It is really bad with rich/insured parents dumping/commiting their adoloscent kids everytime they go on vacation. One lady would bring in her teenage girl whenever her husband was out of town for the weekend so she could party and bring men home!"
Does NOT sound at all like an involuntary commitment. Sure, the kid didn't want to be there, but the mother did it, not the government.
"The new Form 4473 will make it clear, for example, that any person who has been found by a court, board, or other lawful authority to be a danger to self or others is prohibited from purchasing a firearm or ammunition."
