This kid was distraught over a girl, over getting expelled, over the death of his adoptive mother. Our society does not teach males to get counseling. This kid did voluntarily enter a mental health institution. For how long, they haven't told us, but in this country you initially go in for a 48 hour to 72 hour eval, and if you voluntarily do it, they cannot legally hold you unless you say you are going to hurt yourself or others. They cannot force you to go to a 90 day (or longer) inpatient treatment program, unless you are a minor or been deemed by a court of law. The mental health system here is ran by insurance companies that only care about profit, which means once the insurance says your time is up, you are released unless you are proven to be a risk (hard to do without admission or legal evidence) or violated a law. The federal government will rule against mental health disabilities 90% of the first three times it's filed for.
