[QUOTE="SRL, post: 152431, member: 701"] We can give you several ideas to check out--hopefully one of them will pan out. Before doing anything else, I'd make one last strong plea to your mom to take action. Stress to her the importance of making good choices now before your sister seriously hurts someone. Once she were to cross that line, the family may have far fewer choices. I'm sure she thinks she's protecting her now, but in reality she's endangering her greatly by not taking steps to get her stabilized. You could try the family doctor, although if it isn't also your own doctor or you aren't authorized via a signature, the doctor might be unwilling to discuss it with you. Worth a try though. Below is the domestic violence hotline for the state of Indiana. They will be able to point you to local resources. This might be a local domestic violence resource center, county mental health, etc. We've recently worked with a resource center in another state and they are very very helpful. Here's a hotline on elder abuse. [url]http://www.seniorcitizensguide.com/[/url] States do have varying options for involuntary commitment up to 72 hours--if in immediate danger, call the police. If not immediate, call county mental health. This option can sometimes jumpstart the evaluation process. [/QUOTE]
