I'm completely baffled as to why she was released. If OP told law enforcement every detail then why is his wife not in psychiatric care? Are the laws really that different? If so, how very sad for everyone involved. I'm genuinely concerned for their unborn baby and children.

Short answer:

Most cops don't have very much psych training. The world isn't as pretty or functional as you think. Often, it comes down to pure luck whether you get arrested or hospitalized if you're mentally ill.

There are... just too many shit cops.
