So long as you're getting them the psychiatric treatment they need, yes[/quote]

You can't force an adult to get the psychiatric treatment they may need.[/quote]

This is very true. But you can say, unless you meet with a psychiatrist/therapist on a regular schedule and take the meds they prescribe, you can't live here. [/quote]

Throwing your kids out to live on the streets is one of the most brutal and difficult things parents could ever do. Why are we even talking about this here? Whoever wrote this clearly has no understanding of the issues involved, this is like talking to a five year old[/quote]

The whole idea is the kid doesn't want to go to the streets so he toes the line wrt getting treatment. A five-year-old (note the correct hyphens) would understand that. [/quote]

If you've appointed yourself the grammar police, you should at least know the rules. You're better off keeping your uninformed opinions to yourself so you stop outing yourself as an idiot.

[b]When to Not Hyphenate Ages[/b]
Now we’ll move on to when you don’t hyphenate ages: When the age is part of an adjective phrase after the noun, you don’t hyphenate it. For example,

Beyoncé is 37 years old.
John’s twin sons are nearly 2 years old.
Neither of those ages are hyphenated.[/quote]
