    Default Re: Baker Act

    Baker Acts have to be initiated by a judge, a cop, or a mental health professional. Call your local law enforcement and let them assess the situation. Keep in mind that even if taken for the mandatory 72 hour evaluation, nothing is guaranteed about longer term observation or care.
