No where did he say anything about having someone comitted. He expressed some genuine concerns that I would have also. Someone who goes after another with a knife should raise some eyebrows and alot of concern. That and the police showing on numerious occasions are also reasons to be concerned. Something doesn't seem right with the story the caregiver gave him.
If said person poses a risk to the rest of the community then the terms of his gaurdianship need to be addressed and looked at.
Yes the mentally ill should have rights but it also needs to looked at with public safety being a consideration.
