HOLLYWOOD — Nahomie Moise is at the end of her rope — stricken with concern and anxiety after learning that her 29-year-old son Bryan Jacquet is missing.
Moise says Bryan has struggled with substance abuse for years — and that his addiction has taken a toll on their family.
“It’s very tough, it’s very hard. It’s not anything that I would wish on anybody,” said Moise.
In an attempt to get Bryan help, Moise petitioned the court to Marchman Act him.
Florida’s Marchman Act allows parents, spouses, other loved ones or a sheriff to petition a court to get someone treated for substance abuse.
This act is for people struggling with addiction who are at risk of hurting themselves or others. The person can be held for 5 days for evaluation and treatment can last up to 60 days.
“He was brought into Larkin’s Behavioral Health,” says Moise.
And that’s where Bryan has been since January 10th.
Moise says she last spoke to her son on Thursday, but after that, she says her calls to him went unanswered.
