Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Winnebago County v. J.C.S.,
Case No.: 2021AP354
Officials: GUNDRUM, P.J.
Focus: Involuntary Commitment and Medication
J.C.S. appeals from an order of the circuit court for involuntary commitment pursuant to WIS. STAT. ch. 51 and also challenges an order for involuntary medication and treatment. She argues that Winnebago County failed to introduce sufficient evidence that she was a “proper subject for treatment” under ch. 51, and thus, the circuit court erred in ordering her commitment and the involuntary administration of medication and treatment. We disagree and affirm.
