This is a joke, right? I mean this has been such a farce that even I am wondering when a camera will pop up and someone will say I’m on candid camera. If this is the best, or just accepted that the county has to offer, we’re all screwed. My husband is on the verge of suicide and they won’t take him unless we called the cops. We called the cops who were confused as to why they were called, had no clue what to do, and basically did the best they could, while we were sitting in the parking lot of behavioral health. The cops had him taken to the hospital, where crisis said he wasn’t able to be helped because at that time, he was given sedatives which they consider stable, and not suicidal. What do they think happens when the sedatives wear off? Don’t they know how quick someone can harm themselves?
