"..these children are as young as 5... years old. Many have developmental disabilities. A disproportionate number of them are Black and Brown. The misuse of the Baker Act in Florida has... created yet another pipeline to push out and police... vulnerable children & put them at greater risk of harm."
This is how involuntary commitment is *currently* abused, in Florida, one of the states where it is an easily available tool for law enforcement.
How do you think it would be used by police and authorities nationwide if it became a more popular and available tool?
