My son is in Florida, visiting his father, however, I do have sole legal and physical custody. On Monday, July 18th his father had him "voluntarily" put in a psych ward at P.E.M.H.S. I did not find out until July 20th. They will not tell me anything or allow me to speak to a professional, even with me offering legal documents showing I retain custody. It is now 4 days, I did speak with my son earlier and he said they are going to keep him until at least Wednesday. What can I do?
Answer
I strongly suggest you retain a Florida attorney with experience in this area.
Generally speaking,if your Son is a danger to himself or others the Government can hold your Son for a reasonable observation time,usually, 3 to 7 days then it must file a Petition to Commit him and start formal proceedings with this end in mind.
You absolutely have the legal right to see and/or talk to your Son and anyone else concerning the matter,especially if you have a valid Court Order for custody of him.
You also have the individual Parental Right to be present if anyone incarcerates, questions,examines,evaluates or interrogates your Son.
I would sue anyone and everyone individually and the Government involved that violates your Parental or/and your Son's personal rights in this regard.
Cordially,
Randy D. Lang
