When Is Newark Mayor Cory Booker Going to Come to His Senses and Stop Building These Housing Projects?
Question by Bifrost: When is Newark Mayor Cory Booker going to come to his senses and stop building these housing projects?
Voltaire had once wrote “one must also be well mannered”. We already know that once the commoners are ignorant and superstitious they are their own catalyst for their persistent autonomous, self-replicating plight of the commoners. These residents tend to cling to the “Baptist Churches” so much, they are voluntarily blind to the for-profit groups that take advantage of the uneducated. Those housing projects are breeding grounds for drugs and gangs. If the people are weary of the “harassment” of the police officers, then why are the taxpayers punished and forced sacrificing their hard earned resources to keep them there? This man needs to open his eyes and learn that they only way to resolve this issue is to teach the inner city underclass responsibility.
Can You Force an Adult in Indiana Legally to Go Into Rehab or Go to Jail?
Question by Chloe: Can you force an adult in Indiana legally to go into rehab or go to jail?
I’m fearful of losing my 31-year-old boyfriend to a very serious Heroin addiction. I think he deep down inside wants to get better. He has done very little though to find help as he gets frustrated because he has no money or insurance for a rehab facility. He is on death’s door. I’ve seriously considered finding a way to have him arrested but I KNOW that jail will only succeed into keeping clean while he’s there and the second he get out, he’ll use again. He’s done a couple of stints in jail for a few weeks and it did no good. He really needs at least a 3 month drug rehab inpatient treatment facility followed by going to a halfway house or a sober living facility. I don’t want to give up on him. PLEASE HELP! Any links or personal experience stories is greatly appreciated. I’d really like to hear from a lawyer or law student or even a police officer that has dealt with individuals like these. He still has so much to offer this world. When I met him 9 years ago, he was clean and totally different. He was hard-working, very likeable, honest, and strong. He is none of these things now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP! I do NOT want to have to go to my boyfriend’s own funeral.

Mental Health Care in Georgia?
Question by Muse – Viktor’s Mommy: Mental health care in Georgia?
I have a brother who is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and is also bipolar. He had a psychotic episode back in the beginning of the summer when he took ecstasy; it caused a bad chemical reaction which made him have to be hospitalized in the mental health ward of the local medical college here. After a week of being there, he was released.
