[QUOTE="grmac, post: 546132, member: 12243"] Janet and upallnight, I will check with sister in law's daughter to see if he's still gone and if there's a number to reach him at. Last I heard he left my daughter with the phone. I know when I was there in MT and spoke to the police/medical staff, as long as she wasn't suicidal, they couldn't keep her. She could starve herself all she wanted. They also informed me that the only way to take away her right to refuse treatment was for her hubby to get a court order from the judge. She would have to appear and show the judge she was mentally incompetent to make decisions for her health. She is pretty smart and I'm almost positive she will win. Things are so much different there than they are here. We couldn't even get her in for a 24, 48, or 72hr. watch. She did finally agree to go to the hospital and they ran some tests but wouldn't keep her. They did some referrals and such but as long as she answered all their questions correctly, they wouldn't even put a mental health hold on her. Thanks for your suggestions and I will see what I can do about contacting sister in law. I think it's time he at least tries to do something with the courts even if it fails. Thanks again for listening. [/QUOTE]
