Description
1 This is an appeal by Robert C.B. He wants to live with his mother but Waukesha County, by virtue of its authority over those committed under WIS. STAT. ch. 51, insists that he live in an independent living setting in the community instead. Robert asked the circuit court to order Waukesha County to allow him to reside with his mother on the grounds that it was the "least restrictive alternative." The trial court held, inter alia, that its authority was limited to determining "the least restrictive placement of an individual; whether that is inpatient or outpatient treatment." The court reasoned that once that decision has been made, the conditions of outpatient treatment or inpatient treatment, as the case may be, is one for the treatment experts to make. Robert vigorously argues that the trial court has misread the law. We disagree and hold that the trial court is correct.
