At some point you would have to get legal guardianship and have her moved to a facility, perhaps a nursing home, where she could get the care she needed. That doesn’t happen automatically even with her autism and other issues. I’m not justifying the condition she was in but they were doubtless far beyond the end of their ropes.
how long does it take to get “legal guardianship”? These people had years to do this. The woman didn’t start her sit in protest just before she died, she was doing it for years. They had time years ago to appeal to the courts for it.
If they could prove her mental condition was before she was 18 and it was debilitating, courts may assume guardianship.
They wanted her sei checks and not caring for her welfare.
