pass a law that makes forced rehab or sectioning possible 4 those who need help

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently taking note of all the people who live on the streets where I live many have either mental health, drink or drug problems or all three, many are not in a place to decide they need help even though they clearly do. I'm asking u to consider forced rehab or sectioning for those most in need.
This will also help family's who can't help relatives through a difficult time because they are refusing help. https://www.change.org/p/remove-my-mentally-ill-brother-from-the-streets-provide-him-with-the-treatment-he-needs
