Think man. Why do you think people try to treat these family members themselves? They don't want people to know they have a crazy relative- because of the stigma. Now, you want to place criminal penalties on people- who is going to want to have a mentally ill person living with them? Hello. Earth to Bread. You're "solution" will just create more problems. Right now we have almost nowhere for a family to commit a mentally ill person- absent excellent insurance or deep pockets- and the willingness of the mentally ill person to comply. Who do you think the homeless are? Many are mentally ill people. Want to increase their numbers, a lot? Go the direction you want to go.

Luckily, I think even our dysfunctional government would see that road as a highway to hell. But who knows?
