Re: family commitment...
A commitment proceeding is not simple. You must demonstrate that the person in uestion is a danger to herself or others in order for the county to act. They would seek a 72 hour hold in a mental health facility and, if the time is goung to expire, may seek a commitment if they believe the person is a danger.
You should start by contacting local police if you believe she is a danger to herself or others and seek a welfare check.
