This IS my brother we are talking about. IMHO his mental condition does indeed warrant him being institutionalized but even if such services were made available I think Jeff would be happiest tended to by us, his family. I am no doctor but if it comes to it, I'll side with the professionals on this. What I think would be most helpful is if the Government could give us a hand. Right now, when it comes to money, Jeff's income is breaking even when it comes to covering his needs. Jeff obviously is NOT allowed access to his social services income nor is my brother Ron, (Jeff's caretaker), complaining about the job he does for Jeff.
Regarding the local legal system, the County Sherriff's Dept, and nearby Yelm, and Eatonville PDs are all aware of Jeff's condition, (partially due to the neighbors calling the cops on him for his 'odd behavior' and for Jeff's occasional screaming fits directed at inanimate objects around his house and out in his little neighborhood). So far, Jeff has not done anyone harm nor broken any laws. From what I can tell my brother Jeff is fairly harmless.
