The Court also looked at the parent’s interest and whether the child’s interest was protected under the state hospital’s procedural approach in determining the child’s mental health and needs. The Court held that the Georgia statutory procedure for committing a minor to a mental health facility was unconstitutional because it violated the due process rights of the minor afforded by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Since no statewide regulation exists for hospital intake and examination, hospitals have differing procedural processes. The Court held that the commitment decisions of hospital staff were too subjective and not adequate enough to protect the child’s liberty interest.…
