Was she a homeless?

Because NOW she has a family that cares for her

Her family tried to care for her before this. They tried to get her in- patient treatment more than 20 times. Families are told that the facilities can't hold mental patients against their will by law for more than 72 hours.

That's if they have a bed at all.

Have you ever tried to care for a loved one with bi polar disorder or any other mental illness?

Public funding for the mentally ill has been cut to the bone in the past two decades.

The bulk of the money is going into a trust for her care, not to her family.

Glad to know that

Still not enough

The settlement was actually for $5 million...she gets $1.5m, $3.5 million goes to her lawyers. RIDICULOUS
