Voluntary treatment, so hard to understand!

Paul:
If one is alone on an island then there
would be no external compulsion, except
survival.

In a society with people, all societies
have rules, in the form of laws.

There is your external compulsion, obeying
the laws, just like you and I!

Paul:
I read posts on Fornits about forced medication for people with mental illness.

Please post examples of forced treatment where there was no due process.

---

This is different that disagree with the current laws, or pushing Scientology dogma covertly.

If you just don't agree with medications, then that is not an example of forced.

If you don't know what forced means simply ask, no rants please.

Now a real example of someone who just got forced with no protection of the laws, thank you.

Paul:
This is a voluntary program.

Please post an example of a parent saying no to the TeenScreen Assessment and the school forcing the child to take the test.

---

Again, if you do not agree with TeenScreen in concept, or you are covertly pushing Scientology
dogma you posts should not be here.

This is for an example of when the current laws
of voluntary testing have been broken, and the parents said no, in writing, and the school did
the assessment in a forced setting.

Please include resources, no rants, just facts.

Thank you.

From what I've read of Deborah's posts, they are mostly oriented around children. By default the children will receive whatever the parents deem necessary, so in this sense, they don't really have a choice. I read an article today, in Maine they are passing legislation making it illegal not to take your medication if you are mentally ill. Don't you see where this trend is heading? I don't like it much either.

Anon,

I thought this thread was going to head in the direction to show that there is always the right
to say no to treatment, and there is due process,
and paid representation if one chooses to say no.

Could you please post the Maine legislation article. I hope it is not true, or rather, I
hope there is some logical explanation to it?

Thanks,

Paul
