Legal Protection against Brewster’s Abuse
Mcleod's family wants Brewstar to be involuntarily committed to the mental hospital. Without the will of the patient, they cannot be committed to being delivered to the hospitals because it can bring upon the severe legal charge against them. Firstly, they have to face the civil commitment, which was made for the protection of those who cannot protect themselves. Secondly, they can face consequences because of violating the rights of the mentally ill people in the case of Brewster. In this way, the McLeod family is having a civil commitment. They can involuntarily commit their sons to treatment if only Brewster is doing any harm to himself or the others or he has no sufficient money to take care of him.
