The country's largest city is giving officials discretion to hospitalize people living on the streets and experiencing severe mental illness, even if it's against the person's wishes, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. In his Tuesday address, Adams described city residents with severe and untreated mental illness who sleep on subway cars and park benches and said their living situations are "a crisis we see all around us."
The mayor's directive would give outreach workers, city hospitals and first responders, including police, discretion to hospitalize anyone they deem a danger to themselves or unable to care for themselves. As part of its initiative, the city is developing a phone line that would allow police officers to consult with clinicians.
Experts say homeless people may have a much harder time accessing consistent treatment for mental illnesses because their everyday lives can be so precarious. At the same time, mental illness may make it considerably more difficult for someone without a place to live to find stable employment and pay for housing.

That's forced imprisonment and a violation of their rights.
Lol law biding citizens have rights too, I was this close 🤏 to buying a taser so it’s either they go to the hospital or they deal with a self defense weapon
These people don't deserve to have MORE rights than tax paying citizens. If homeowners acted like these bums, they would face fines and possibly asset forfeiture. People shouldn't be shitting in the streets.
@@BishopJoansie So the rising crime doesn't make you want to get one, but the possibility of a homeless person attacking you one day makes you want to get one... that makes so much sense🙄
@@ronburgundysmustache6717 Hey there Hitler, I thought you died in WW2?
@@rich2583 Homeless people have the same rights as you and I.
You ask for help, now they are doing something about it, if you don’t like it then take them into your home

Sadly, nowadays street homeless are drugs addicts, and they are addicted to cocktail of nasty chemicals such as fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, sedative benzo, rat poison, nitazenes chemicals, P2P based meth, wasp dope, and other nasty stuff. That is in the pills they smoke all the time. They are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. Street addicts gradually destroy everything around themselves. The only thing they really wanna is to be as close as possible to their fentanyl dealers. If they are functional, they work as fentanyl dealers till they get zombified. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl and other nasty drugs available everywhere.
That’s right ! You take them if you think it’s not right …. Idiots out there
Ok they get hospitalized then what?? They still need a roof over their head and money to survive! And where is that going to come from he didn’t address that problem !

nah we just toss them in the ocean with weights. time to clean house an get rid of the garbage
Allowing mentally ill drug addicts to do as they please is not the solution. These people need forced intervention
Lol yeah these wackos can definitely be trusted with a house and a job
They will probably be in a facility with nurses and psychiatrist. They will get three square meals a day, a TV room, and daily psychiatric monitoring. They need not to worry about working ever again. Just like the guys on One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
I agree help needs to come for the homeless but something is really weird about this. And with the cost of hospitalizations it is not cheap so my question is what will they do next once the money runs out. 🤔 that money used for hospitalizations could very much be used to create homes for them all the abandoned buildings could be turned into studios. Just a thought and that would also create jobs for those that want to help run it.
They have an agenda... It's not about helping anyone but themselves even though, they try to make it seem like it. Eric Adams is a fraud. A lot of ppl are to blind to see this for what it is....

@@sarbantz I understand your thoughts on this I also know there is truth in your statement because I have lost a loved one to this. The dealer is also a very big part of this. So we lock away the addict under the guise of helping them and the dealer goes free. The dealer is very much a addict to . Addicted to selling the drug And committing murder at the same time and getting away with it It's a vicious cycle Only to lock away the homeless that are addicted And the dealer left to go free to create more addicts. What it really comes down to is lack of love and compassion for our Brothers and Sisters. It's easier to look down our nose and to lock someone away waste thousands of dollars in doing so than it is to really love a human being having compassion for them and fixing the issue. Patience and long-suffering with one another. It's a Beautiful thing to see a person break free from Bondage and in almost every situation that I have came across it was when they turned to Jesus and cried out that they broke free and are living a fruitful life free of addiction and giving back to others that are still in Bondage. And the dealer is no where in sight because they are busy selling drugs to a new addict or lurking in the shadows trying to Lure The one that broke free back into bondage all for their own selfish Desires And habits.
@@virginiawright961you know i strongly believe, drugs are now so strong and evil that an addict needs some strong spiritually to get out of it. He needs to find some deeper happiness to give him.goal and peace of mind. Otherwise, they will always rain fragile even if they get sober. So, first they need to get sober, and then find new purpose and meaning of life where spiritually can help. They need ro have calm mind.
I think long run it might be more cost effective to hope for eventual self sufficiency. Maybe a means to an end.
California is no different from NYC it just that our state is more habitable to be homeless.
California is way worse. Way too many liberal bastards destroying culture.
They will be dumped out in a few days with a script they possibly can't/won't fill. It's terribly sad.

Then the process is repeated until they get conserved?
WE ARE ALSO WATCHING A PERSON THAT CARES MORE ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THAN THE PEOPLE OF HIS CITY. ADAMS NEED TO GO.
@deonnatrice5931 He did. Your pedi joe opened them.
Because of the Mental Health Laws in this country, my son's RIGHTS allowed him to die in the streets.
Yep. Sad. Sorry for your loss. They don't get that leaving these people out there isn't compassionate. It's the opposite. It doesn't matter how many voluntary services you have, these people won't use them. Either they're addicts and want to keep using, or they're severely mentally ill and can't really consent anyway. Tough love is a much forgotten thing in society. Everyone wants the optics of being nice instead of actually being nice. It's like having a friend who tells you what you want to hear, vs a friend who tells you what you need to hear even if its hurtful.
If this guy cares about the homeless so much he can open his home to them
Nah YOU should!!! 🤡🙄

That is evil, that is wrong you can't assume they have a mental illness because they fell on hard times. This is NOT the way to help them.

@@sarbantz You can't assume every homeless person does these things. You know how to reduce a lot of these drugs like fentanyl? Close the border! That is where a lot of it is coming in and unchecked in the recent years. We must look at the root of problems rather than tossing people away with our assumptions. We live in America with a Constitution and Bill of Rights for ALL of us and doesn't just apply to people with homes.
@@SmM33380 when I live all street homeless are fentanyl addicts. Okay, if it's not all of them, it's definitely 99.9% of them for certain. This is not about sheltered homeless, only about street ones.
Someone who fell on hard times would accept help. People who are mentally ill don’t want to be helped many times and continue to be destructive
In all honesty they need a whole task force for this on a national scale, with buildings for housing for those who just ended on the wrong end of the stick, clinics for the addicted, facilities for the mentally unstable with counselors and psychiatrist interwoven into all steps, with agents who do welfare checks on patient,staff and the facilities with a wellness director to check behind them to insure the best results for success

How about opening up the mental institutions again and regulate them like they regulate the nursing homes. Seriously train folks who want to be healthcare workers make college affordable healthcare affordable and jobs who can live on their own. How about starting with our homeless veterans. That’s a shame. Go fight for your country and you too can come home with PSTD not treated and you live on the street. Shame on our government and military.
This is like some crap they do in China.
Even with all this hate, divisiveness, and racism in America Americans will always unite together from all walks of life to do what is right for the homeless. A society is judged based on how they treat its most vulnerable members of society.
Ok , but when they are discharged , ten days later (at the most) What then ? Back to the streets until someone notices them again ? They need affordable housing and ongoing outpatient counseling and support.
This should have been done during the summer…oh wait
God bless mayor Adams. Help those who cannot help themselves. It is not a kindness to let these people die slow deaths on the street.
@Rolling Withthepunches it is better to just let people deteriorate on the street barely sentient and be a danger to everyone else than give them any type of second chance?
@Rolling Withthepunches what would you do ?
Then fight landlords,bankers, and politicians greed and their domestic terrorism (evictions.

@@dragonf1092 wtf does that have to do with mental illness? You think people are on the street bc they’re broke…?
Thank you. We do need to arrange separate living and do it so everyone wins, has peace and happiness. De-institutionalizing people didn't help. It's rough to manage everyone's personal freedoms. Everybody talks to themselves, especially with smart phones, but walking past people having full-blown arguments with themselves and gesticulating wildly is deeply unsettling to see. We don't know what to do but to walk on by; it's not good for anyone.
Sometimes you stop to help and realize it's beyond you. Other times it's good to share some humanity with someone and have a chat. Two different sorts of housing and help needs right there.
For public safety, get the wild ones housed permanently in a controlled environment where they can be the best they can be -- and stay. Others need simply to get off the street and pull themselves together and continue working upward.
I'm thinking of the women I have met on the street. Educated and personable and on the street and in need of a transition and trained help. I don't know what to do. I went looking for one nice lady to give her some things where she said she stayed after hours and she wasn't there. Imagine not having a place, even a place for help to find you.

Poor thing. I'm sorry you have to see the lower classes. I can't imagine what you go through, seeing the underclasses and spoiling your entire day. Don't worry, Adam's jack booted thug squads will round up those pesky poor people and remove them from your sight, Alison.
How about mind your own business. Kidnapping people,caging them like animals in a room, force drugging them, torturing them is not going to help anyone. People like you and hospitals are responsible for the drug problems in America. Many of them are like that because of you terrorists force drugging them screwing their brains up.

As a person suffering from mental illness myself I agree that if people really need to be treated then they must go for it before they are finished by becoming a threat to themselves and others.
many dont need treatment never did i am wiling to bet u r lying about yourself having mentall illness i delt with many so called normal americans who lie in many ways
He's right. We cannot wait until a person who is suffering from untreated severe mental illness gives consent to put them in treatment, because informed consent is not even possible.
It is cruel to leave them untreated, wandering the streets, begging, eating out of dumpsters.
you make no sense
This is controversial, it's a double edge swords.
This won't work out to good when one them is released and stops taking their meds and kills someone and the victims family sues everybody

That has to be the most ignorant thing you possibly could have said
Some people are born with genetic disorders and other people may suffer from severe trauma where it makes it hard for them to ask for proper help
So sad! With all our tax money, why doesn't the richest Country in the world can't help. Instead of sending money to other countries. We should be helping Americans first. I feel bad for these people but alot isn't just mental illness. There alot of people with drug problems who don't want to change.
I have a cousin that uses drugs and now he cant function because the drugs destroyed his brain hes homeless and when his father offered assitance and housing he wouldnt want it. only wish this program existed in my city.

Sending to other countries????? you are the biggest thieves of natural resources and cheap service in this world, land rich only in painted paper .
IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE STEPPED UP AND DID SOMETHING REAL...
Homelessness of itself isn't bad. It becomes a problem when you're just a bum begging for money and do nothing against it. Then you got no right to complain.
Uncle Thomas Adams that's what they called you on Rikers lol
They’re at home to who should be hospitalized.
It’s about time someone do something about it.
“When you die “ commercials are airing in Beacon NY Dutchess County
Give them vouchers for 5 star hotels.
“Mental Illness” (as in the realm we are talking, suicide, self-destructive behavior) is a symptom of a “debased mind” (Romans 1:28). When someone is so utterly given over to wickedness, hopelessness, and rejection of Christ that they kill themselves (as masochistic behavior is noted as demonic in Scripture, Mark 5:2-5; Ephesians 5:29 “no one ever hated his own flesh”), such behavior reveals there is no faith in Christ. God has made Himself very clear: “the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10), the “unbelieving” go to the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). The Bible is not a lie.
I just hope that this doesn't turn into eugenics.
