Answer:

hi there!

i believe it is different for each states. the baker act provided emergency mental health services and temporary detention to people who are unsafe because of their mental illness. your sister can be held in there involuntarily for only up to 72 hours.. that is if she wasnt a minor, now for her it is only 12 hours before examination is initiated. you said that you and your family have not been able to see her? as im researching more about this law, it found out that "unless having visitors will be harmful to the person being treated. If a facility wants to restrict visitors from a patient, they must file a written notice documenting the refusal of visitation." which means you guys must have gotten a written notice telling you that seeing her isnt the safest option right now. since your sister is a minor someone must have had to contacted the police/ law enforcement about her..

mental heath facilities have to provide notice to minor patient guardians, no later than 24 hours after admission, they must also document all contact attempts. that notification must be give as soon as your sister entered at that facility.. it can take just about a full 24 hours if the facility have evidence to believe that the patient has been abused.

i have yet to have any evidence that states that they can hold minors without consent of the legal parent guardian, i doubt that your sister was able to even go into that mental heath facility without your parents or someone with the law knowing.

i really hope this help you and i hope the best for your family and your sister!

( here is a photo that might explain the process a little better then i can at this moment )

Answer:

c. Dawn would have been obligated to assist Sarah under the European bystander rule

Explanation:

The bystander rule is a type of rule which states that a person generally has no legal obligation to rescue, save or assist another (victim) who is in danger or at risk, even if the society imposes a moral responsibility to act as such.

This is known as the American bystander rule and is opposite from the European rule which mandates intervention and assistance, the European version of this rule is called the Good Samaritan rule

so under the European bystander/Good Samaritan rule, Dawn would have been obligated to assist Sarah.

When protecting the president, the Secret Service must ensure that the president is never more than a few minutes away from a Trauma Hospital.

<h3>How does the President's security come from the Secret Service?</h3>

The Secret Service is distinct from other federal law enforcement organizations because, in addition to protecting visiting heads of state and governments, the president and vice president of the United States, and their families, as well as former presidents, presidential candidates, and other high-profile individuals, its agents also conduct criminal investigations—the agency's original mandate from 1865.

Both investigative and protective, they.

They need to provide safe sites for the president in case of an assault, locate nearby trauma hospitals, request a motorcade route through town, and clear airspace at the airport during the president's arrival, among other things.
