Q: Can a 18 year old in Florida baker act his mother?
Since my dad cheated on my mom and stills cheats on her my mom went nuts with being labeled mentally unstable. So she hits me I have 8 mental disabilities and I told her i have no job no car nowhere to live so im not going anywhere but i told her if she kicks me out i will call the cops and baker act her. She kicked my dad out and he co-owns the house and he is elderly of 66 years old and she slapped him which is a third degree felony. And she beats me im a disabled adult which is a third degree felony. She messes with my pet turtle by throwing him thats a felony. Can she be arrested and baker acted.
A: You are talking about a number of things, mostly things that you do not know anything about, or are mistaken in your beliefs. You are asking a question to attorneys on a public forum which has not confidentiality. You can go see an attorney about involuntarily committing her for evaluation to see if she needs treatment. You could call the police too. But they are not going to give you what you think you want. I think that the best thing to do is be supportive, not combative.
