Can I lock my brother up although he is bipolar? And can I take action against my parents for allowing it to get this far?

Your mother and father are NOT doing your brother or anyone in your family, by doing nothing. Perhaps they don't know what to do. But one thing is for SURE... They have to protect Everyone in the house. AND ASAP. Whatever that takes. If they don't protect Everyone, then that is a TYPE OF CHILD ABUSE.

Hopefully you and your young brother can find someone else to live with. ASK Neighbors, friends, teachers, relatives, ETC.

Your can't lock your brother up your not a police just tell child services on your parents they dont discipline

Maybe you're over due to move out

Your PARENTS have created the monster your brother is today. There is all sorts of self-help for bipolar disorder on line, and if a person wants to start some measure of recovery, they will use it... and/or seek therapy and WORK that.

But your brother doesn't have to because your parents treat him like a retard

PS people with bipolar disorder are often highly intelligent, so it's not like your brother doesn't know about the fact there is help out there. He's too comfortable causing chaos and being treated like a moron

Pearl is bipolar and we would put her in one of those dog cages in the den until she needed to

use the bathroom. Give it a try. It did not help Pearl but we tried everything. She would eat paint

chips off the window sill and try to drown out little brother. What a mess. We finally sold her to

Gypsies and they let a monkey train her. That worked fairly well.

He’s not going to end up in juvenile detention if you don’t start calling the police every time he harms someone. But his immigration status is irrelevant as a large percentage of those in various lockup situations are illegals.

The better move for your family would be to try to get him into an in patient care facility before he ends up in juvie.

I think the best course of action is to simply understand and instead of fighting try to help maybe his meds need to be adjusted maybe you are rebelling against your parents would you ask anyone in a wheelchair to just walk this way ?

Only his parents can send him to treatment against his will and it does not seem they want to. What you CAN do is call the police when he gets violents and let THEM deal with it, also press charges when they do, that is the only way. Bipolar is not an excuse to yell and scream and hurt others. Another option is to call CPS and tell them the household is unsafe to your younger siblings and then offer to take them when they are removed from the home, unless that is you are living in the home also.

You're 24 years old so you're an adult. Yes, you can take legal action against your parents. Preferably, if you can afford to do so, you could take guardianship of your younger siblings. Do you have a separate place to live that has enough space for your siblings? These are issues that you need to consider for before initiating legal action. Best wishes.

No, you're not his next of kin or his power of attorney. You would at minimum be his port of attorney.

Locking someone up for mental illness isn't the best form of treatment so with your attitude it's unlikely the court would grant you POA over this person. In general the POA has the person's well being, best interest and is their biggest advocate, not someone who wants to do away with them.

"Disrespecting" someone is not a crime and not a way to have someone committed.

Also if you in order to have someone in a facility... you have to figure out a way to pay for their care too. Facility care of any kind is not cheap.

Brah, why didn’t you like do this sooner. Not cool.
