Typical parents can be liable for he acts of their minor children if there is a history of violence.

Adults are typically responsible for their own behavior.

At any rate you need a violent history to get anywhere.

So if someone doesn't have a violent history but he suddenly thinks he has superpowers and is being chased by demons, you have to wait for him to attack someone or hurt himself before you can have him involuntarily committed?

I'd try an intervention in that case. Might be applicable for alcoholics or food addicts.

Nah, I mean the kind of intervention where a bunch of friends and family get together and show their concern for the person, that the person has a problem which they should get help for. Then maybe the addict voluntarily makes changes or enters rehab and avoids death for a while longer.

I know it's really anti-American to suggest extremely fat people should change in any way, even to save their own lives, and this is probably an idea that would never work. Plus the fat person would go weep about it on tumblr and then I would get hate mail and I would also have to start being careful around hills in case the strategically placed persons of size should be poised to flatten me.

You honestly had me going that this was a serious response.

Nice.

Maybe the demons did get him. Would make sense. Eating a human face is pretty demon-esque

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

How was the oil mixed with cheese? Was the cheese shredded? Diced? Was it a simple sharp cheddar or something more refined like an asiago or gouda? These are the questions we need answers for. Without this, we'll never truly understand.

No. The issue was third party liability. I didn't say anything about whether the individual could be committed or judged incompetent.

Is it possible he had some sort of psychedelic in his system that is dosed at the microgram level that wasn't detected. I don't know much about testing blood for narcotics.

The next Slenderman: Daniel

Daniel has a lot of potential.

Attributes:
Dark and shadowy
No one REALLY knows what he looks like (SUPER scary!)
Can possess you and compel you to cannibalism
Will give you alternate memories to override your horrible memories of cannibalism*

Weaknesses:
Nudity - note that Harrouff failed to completely remove his clothes in his
flight from Daniel. This could be why he succumbed to Daniel's power.
Cannot inhabit a garage until he possesses a human body
Unorthodox beverages - this is my theory that the cooking oil and caustic chemical ingested by face-biting boy are elixirs meant to dampen Daniel's influence... but too little, too late

It all makes sense now!

*per this article, Austin Harrouff remembers saving a dog and hijacking a car rather than murdering his victims.

I thought my cousin was crazy AF but it turned out he was just a cold-blooded serial killer. All is good.

in the way that you phrased the question yes, there are of course thousands of drugs that could be missed
