    Steps to have someone committed in Georgia
    I have a friend who has a 9 week old daughter, whose wife has threatened to kill herself and has threatened to kill him and cut off his private parts. She has abused her medications. She put eye shadow on the baby when she was 7 weeks old. He is in the military... The social worker that he has spoken to over a month has told him that divorce is not an option that he is not thinking in the best interests of the child. The mother has called the police out to the residence on several occasions and they never take her. She is under psych care, but the doctor upped the doses of her meds, which she took within four days... a 30 days prescription, 100 mg of zoloft. She threatened to commit suicide the night before again and then called the police last night and said she was taking the baby and leaving. She is interested in witchcraft and looking for ghosts... This is a young couple. He wants to raise his little girl and to have full custody. His parents are at their wits end and live 8 hours away.

    His only real option is to divorce and remove the child from the mother. He will need to go through a parental evaluation and at that point all claims can be looked into as far as the mothers mental stability.

    It is nearly impossible to commit someone in Georgia, The police can if they see evidence that she is a threat to her self or others. But only for a eval and then only if there is a state facility locally.

    He needs to report all activity to the police, needs to tell the doctor about the medication
    But since there is talk about divorce, they may not believe him either.

    He can take the child and hire an attorney and file for divorce, He will need in court to prove everything with evidence of what he is saying
