How does this happen? A woman whose estranged husband murdered their teenage son and then hung himself was understandably distraught, but she and her friends insist that there was no reason for a doctor to have her involuntarily committed to a psych ward, then held there against her will for five weeks before they released her and charged her for her "treatment." It gets worse: She'd been seeing a shrink for weeks before the murder/suicide, and she showed up for her scheduled appointment the day after the killings and the shrink had already arranged -- before seeing her -- to have police on standby to take her into custody if she didn't admit herself. And they did, despite not having proper paperwork or a court order. Oh, and she's STILL IN THERE. In America. In 2014. (Burlington Free Press)
