Yesterday, my wife and I spent most of Valentine's day trying to first GET to our local Probate court and then finally writing out every possible thing that the stepson has done so that a judge could decide whether he should be committed. Or have an Order To Apprehend (OTA) taken out on him.
Basically, the sheriff's dept would arrive at the house and take the stepson into custody of the courts. They would then deliver him to the local county mental facility where he will be evualated for mental fitness for no more than 48 hours.
This is a very big risk because if he lies his way through it, then things could be much worse when he gets back to the house. However, we have literally tried every other way to get him help to no avail. Hopefully, this works out.
So the judge signed the OTA with no problems. Happy Valentine's Day.
*sigh*
