Discusses Supreme Court decisions involving the commitment of minors by parents or guardians to State mental institutions, in which the Court ruled that although due process required a neutral fact-finder to make an inquiry concerning whether a child should be committed, a formal adversarial proceeding was not required prior to commitment.
