Topic : 05/11 Obsessive Love: On the Run

I cannot believe that anyone believes this guy wants help....he only wants the notarity of this whole thing...he is sick, sick, sick.....this guy will never get well....Maybe I missed something, but what kind of childhood did he have......it seems whenever there's a problem with someone people tend to question the past and the childhood they had....Not that I think Jeffery had a bad one but I don't remember this ever being addressed.....as for his wife and kids, this guy is dangerious!!!! if he doesn't harm his family I'll be quite surprised.  I hope the security that Dr. Phil has secured works because this guy is smart....he's so sick that he'll find a way to hurt his family....he's smart, slick and one bad and dangerious person.....I feel so sorry for his family......I don't feel sorry for him for he's accomplishing exactly what he set out to do and that is to appear on t.v. and "ask fo help"...what a joke!  I can't believe that Dr. Phil and his staff have bought into his act. 

Again, I hope his family is safe ....and that no harm will come to them.....

Its like the alcoholic....if the alcoholic is in treatment, they don't slip him a drink on the side?????  If this is a well-known treatment facility like Dr. Phil says, why did they allow him to have ANY contact with her???  they should have been monitoring that???   She is his drug of choice...

Jody I commend you for putting it plain and simple. I wish more women could pull themselves up by their boot straps and follow your lead!

I agree with the other ladies... he was basically contradicting himself by saying the doctor told him one thing. And then come back and say that his wife said another thing. It's just best for her to live her life without being afraid in her own house. And it's also good that she is really seeking help her in getting personal secruity in protecting her well-being. I mean basically he needs to stay put where he's at, so he can fully heal. Because his actions are not normal, and it needs to be adressed in the right way.

It is my understanding if he is mentally unstable, he can be placed under a protective custody for 48 hours, or an emergency detention if he is unstable and commits and crime, or is harmful to himself or others.  And this to me, would qualify for an emergency detention.  During that 48 hours he is held and mentally evaluated, then goes before a judge with a recommendation regarding a care program, or release. 

Given alone the 4-hrs. of tapes, Dr. Phil's evaluation, and the evaluation of the Psychiatrist, I feel he would be required by law to remain in inpatient treatment against his will.  It is also my understanding it requires 3 people to commit someone for long-term psychiatric committment.  There were over 10 million people who witnessed his behavior, not to mention his own family who has lived with this all these years.

And if he were committted, Jennifer and the children's lives would not have to be upset.  No one would have to worry who his next victim would be.  Regardless he has psychiatric problems, his behavior and actions are criminal, unstable, and unpredictable. 

 ALL of us are to be watching for people who appear to be a threat to society.  Since 911.  Even more recently, Virginia Tech.  Together, we could put this man away for a long time, keep ourselves safer, allow Jennifer and their children to heal, and start in the process towards sending messages to those just like him that every human being has the right to freedom, and to feel safe in this world.  It's not up to Jeffrey.
