I come from Florida. I've seen what "forcing into treatment" looks like. It looks like picking up traumatized people on Baker Act charges and involuntarily holding them in underfunded, understaffed, dangerous asylums, where they are tranquilized and forgotten. It looks like atrocity.

Yeah, there's got to be a middle ground between abandoning people screaming under a bridge and becoming the reason they scream.

Ah Florida, where “baker acting” someone is so atrocious it’s literally a verb in common parlance

forcing people into treatment at absolute best will get them to fake being better until they're out of there away from their abusers. I know because I'm the fortunate one who got a court order placed on them by a shitty "care team" psychologist who completely misrespresented what I'd said to courts

If you haven't been in one of Florida's public asylums, you have no idea what they're like. Paint, peeling off the walls. Clients left in restraints, sometimes all day long. Screams in the background, from patients locked in their rooms. The smell of urine, everywhere. Almost no staff to be found.

This could be the Prison Industrial Complex searching for ways to refill cells emptied by Marijuana pardons.

I knew someone ages ago who was on a college campus. They had a pet tarantula that jumped off their shoulder outside and they were looking for it when a worker on a lawnmower approached. They yelled at the person to stop and eventually got Baker Acted.

Wild how we still haven’t quite wrapped our heads around the idea that you can’t mandate someone to something that we don’t have. “Let’s gather them up and put em in treatment!” “We don’t have treatment.” “Well what do we have? “An abandoned Senior Center and lots of Thorazine.” “That’ll do!”
