Should Boo Radley have been locked away in a mental institution when he was a teenager?

The answer to this question would have to be determined by the courts. Based upon the information we're given, we can infer that Boo might have lived a more normal life had his father allowed him to be sent away with the other boys. Mr. Radley decided to lock his son behind closed doors, and from there..... the rumors abound. No one can be locked away in an institution based on rumor....
