Flavia,
I don't know the specifics of what happened to you, but if you were committed without due cause you most definately have a case (and it certainly sounds that way if you were released that quickly). I work in social/health/human services and committing someone to a lock down is near impossible, even those that are so obvioulsy mentally ill and a danger to themselves or others. I can't believe this happened to you - you must have been terrified.

I'm glad that you pursued this, no one should have to suffer what you went through. Please keep fighting and let us know what happens.
