I don't know the laws of every state. I know that my state's laws have remedies for people who are incompetent, or dangerous to themselves and others and include involuntary lock up for examination of those so apparently troubled that they need to be detained for everyone's good immediately.
Dangerously troubled people aren't a new problem. I would be suprised if there were a single state, commonwealth or territory in which the legislature had provided no mechanism for dealing with them.
