Involuntary Commitment – Medication and Treatment
By: Derek Hawkins//November 11, 2020//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Walworth County v. C.A.E.
Case No.: 2020AP834-FT
Officials: REILLY, P.J.
Focus: Involuntary Commitment – Medication and Treatment
Carly appeals from an order of the circuit court extending her involuntary commitment and from an order for involuntary medication and treatment. Carly argues that the circuit court erred when it ordered recommitment and involuntary medication based on hearsay and that Walworth County (the County) failed to present sufficient evidence to support the orders. We conclude that the evidence supports the circuit court’s conclusion that Carly is mentally ill, is a proper subject for treatment, would be a proper subject for commitment if treatment were withdrawn, and is not competent to refuse medication. See WIS. STAT. §§ 51.20(1)(a)1.-2., (am); 51.61(1)(g)4. Accordingly, we affirm.
