Why didn’t Fonzie and Ron help her when it mattered?

Well, that's the question isn't it? Maybe they didn't. But maybe they tried and she didn't want to be helped badly enough. That's the problem with drug heads - sometimes the addiction is too strong, and the druggie is far tor gone.

I think that druggies should be held involuntarily in mental institutions. The dealers should be killed, but the addicts should be imprisoned in asylums, not prisons.

Maybe they tried and failed.

Allegedly Winkler tried to get her help but she wasn't willing to go into an intensive rehab and he didn't want to just throw money at her to keep partying away with.

“Why didn’t Fonzie and Ron help her when it mattered?”

Who says they didn’t? Have you ever tried to intervene on an addict? Not an easy task. You cannot help someone who does not want to help themselves. Short of the criminal justice system intervening and imposing treatment from within an incarceration facility, you cannot clean up an addict who does not want to get clean.

I should know. My own brother committed suicide when it was obvious he was going to get locked up for his addiction and attached criminal behaviors. He would rather be dead than kick his habit. He got his wish.

You should do some research into the addictive personality. It doesn't work like that.
