Feedback
1. An involuntary admission would have law enforcement involvement.
2. The law enforcement requires treatment, otherwise legal consequences will occur.
3. The family can request placement because they are the legal guardians of the child.
4. Asking for help does not involve a legal matter, thus is not an involuntary admission.
