I am glad to see there are signs of VOLUNTARY help for her. The past several weeks, we have been inundated with persons such as Keemstar imploring, "WE need to do something about this". Well, if a person refuses medical treatment , there is not much WE can do.
In this day and age, to have a person declared incompetent and made either a WARD of the State, or to have a third party assigned guardianship to look after their affairs is extraordinarily difficult, especially considering her living, natural power of attorney's (her parents) are still alive. It would have taken a long slog through the court system for these third parties to attempt to get a hearing on the matter. I would guess it would take until June or July of this year for a court to either hear the case and declare incompetency, or to dismiss the motion out of hand. You just can't wave a magic wand as Keemstar seems to think. In all these cases, the person directly effected has to make the first move. They made it harder to do the incompetency for a good reason, too much abuse in the past when there was a well established state mental hospital system. So yes, we shall see if this is light at the end of the tunnel.
