Who is Entitled to Mental Health Care in Florida?
My Aunt has a 49 yr old severely mentally retarded son. Unable to care for himself. The son is in a home provided by the state of Florida - with exceptional care.

Would the state of Florida no longer provide care to him?

One of the individuals was a friend of my dads and they worked together. While he was at my house he got angry at me and said he was going to put it in my ear. I now suffer from this.
