This happened to me sometime when I was in high school
going to Coronado High in Scottsdale.
I don't remember the year or even the month but my
dad tried to get me declared as "insane" so he could
have me locked up in the Arizona State Mental Hospital
and get rid of a son he hated.
But too bad for daddy his plan to force the State of
Arizona to jail his kid failed.
I didn't realize what had happened until this year when one of my friends was declared insane and locked up in the Arizona State mental hospital for the crime of being crazy. The way it works per ARS 36 is any person can file a complaint with the State of Arizona asking that a person be declared insane and locked up in the state mental hospital. Next the law says that the state has two psychiatrists check out the alleged crazy person. If the two shrinks both think the person is insane a court hearing is held and the judge can lock the person up in the nut house for 90 days, 180 days, or a year depending on what type of insanity the person has. The sentence is based on how much of a danger the judge thinks you are to society. Pretty scarry stuff. No you DON'T have a right to a fair trail or to be judged by a jury. Its just the judge who decides based on what the shrinks say. Although it can be appealed. In my case my dad didn't tell me he was going to try to lock me up in the insane asylum. They gave me some lame excuse on why I had to go down to the nut house and take some tests. I probably figured at the time my dad wanted to lock me up to get rid of me, but I don't remember. I remember my dad driving me down to the nut house which is on 24th Street and Van Buren in Phoenix in his VW van. I was pretty scared. All I remember out of the deal is they gave me a bunch of ink blot tests which i think are called the "Rorschach ink blot test". I was clueless on how what to do to pass the test so I just decided to say nice things. Yep that blob there looks like a fluffy cloud, yep that blob looks like a fluffy cat, yep that blob looks like some cotton candy. I wanted to tell the shrink that the damn ink blots looked like fucking ink blots and that any body that gave a rats ass on what I thought ink blots looked like was insane. This urs from the skeptic web page say that ink blot tests are junk science, so I was probably right that the ink blots looked like fucking ink blots. After my inital trip to the nut house and test taking I never heard from the folks at the nut house again. So my dads bid to get rid of me by having me declared insane failed. |
