well think about it Dr. Hopper wasn't in season 5 maybe because NO ONE in his family was fit to care for him and him being the closest thing to a social worker/CPS he would have no choice but to take him and place him in foster care. Since the damage has been done and no he more than likely has PTSD he has no choice but to put him in a mental institution and there will be an arc for a mental institution. Being kidnapped is one thing but in season 5 they literally dragged him to hell! And it wasnt just Regina being unfit but Emma as well and also his grandparents. It doesnt matter if he wanted to go head first into danger he is still a 13/14 year old boy.
