Lexicon,

If he's showing psychotic behaviors and is threatening the life of others, I would call the police and let them handle it. Basically, yes, you'd still be leading the path to hospitalization, but you wouldn't actually be making that decision...the police would.

When my brother was younger he was out of control and had threatened someone's life...seriously. I was actually worried that he would do it. I called his t and he actually made the call. Somehow that helps me today...to know that I just passed along the info but someone else (knowledgable) made that decision.

I wish you good luck and am sending you my thoughts.

be safe,
