[Batman/DC Comics] Is Alfred crazy?

Look, I love the Caped Crusader as much as anyone, but I think we can all recognize that Bruce Wayne has some serious issues. Normal people don't react the way Bruce did to his parents death, by becoming a vigilante.
My question is, why didn't Alfred, who seems like a normal, if very loyal butler, have Bruce admitted to a mental hospital or got him some other help when he revealed he wanted to become the Batman? It's not healthy at all, and in fact very dangerous to let an unstable man work through his issues my beating up criminals. What is his justification for letting him start down this path?

The transition to Batman likely happened slowly, and keep in mind it would have been a tramatic event for Alfred, too.

It starts with a wealthy adolescent wanting to go learn monk/ninja skills to "find themself" and work through an abnormal childhood. Alfred wouldn't see that as odd. 

Later Bruce (while still running a successful company) stays out a bit late and goes to the rough side of town. He comes home and tells Alfred how he stopped a thief and saved someone's life. Alfred might be shocked, but wandering the streets looking for trouble isn't illegal, and Bruce has always been odd. If Alfred can't talk him out of this behavior, he may want to help him work through it safely. After all, Bruce may have just prevented another tragedy like the one he experienced as a child.

So the next night he brings a radio and some mace, the night after he wears a mask, and some time down the line he's in a jet powered black tank. Who can really say where it crossed the line?
