But if they don't get "reported" they won't get any treatment, will
they?
I really think the problem is deeper but right now it is not being
addressed at all.
Typically, the reports go to the police. If the cops send someone out to
check up on a person, the odds are unless the person is acting really
wild and irrational, they'll just leave. If they do take someone in,
there is the problem of "where do we take him/her?" If there is a
facility other than the county jail, a judge typically will release that
person in short order.
Dramatic changes in rules and regulations need to be made on the state
level as part of the way to address this problem. It needs to be done,
and it probably will take a long, long time. That's one of the reasons
why I say the issues are "far more complex" than reporting.
