This is really so sad. Her antics and odd behavior have been widely publicized yet nobody cared enough to intervene and get her professional help. People in the business would just respond to her twitter feeds but that's it. Were it not for the fire incident she'd still be on her own, battling with her inner demons. I wonder how long she has been suffering from her illness?

WTF is Sam Lufti doing with these girls?!!?!
I know, right?!?! It's like he just drugs them or something. very weird.
WTF is Sam Lufti doing with these girls?!!?!
I know. It's sick. He's a predator. He chooses girls that are wealthy and mentally ill. I think he tries to control them so he can steal their money.
There might be something around her ankles like maybe she's a flight risk or kicker. Wonder if her wrists are bound together as well. She's also probably on so many sedatives it might be dangerous for her to walk.
Her ankles and wrist do not seems to be restrained at all. Like someone else said it is hospital policy to transport patients in wheel chairs. It is very sad this picture is out there. She isnt even safe from the paps while in the hospital.
Really? Those seem pretty neat. I like the new design it looks like a race wheel chair.
ITA! I know someone who had twins at 44. I think it is becoming more of a norm for women to have kids later in life due to career choices.
Amanda Bynes poses 'a substantial risk to herself and others,' is 'extremely paranoid' and has squandered money in 'very short amount of time,' parents say in filing for temporary conservatorship
Lynn Bynes is asking for control of the former child star's personal and financial matters after she allegedly started a gasoline fire in a stranger's driveway Monday night.
"We are deeply concerned that Amanda poses a substantial risk to herself, to others and to property based on recent events in her life," the petition to make Lynn her sole conservator reads.
They say they have no idea how Amanda, 27, traveled to southern California from New York last week or where she was staying prior to starting the gasoline fire in their sleepy Thousand Oaks, Calif., neighborhood that led to her forced hospitalization.
They said she has no driver's license or formal identification and claimed she "cabbed it" across country.
"We believe she is essentially homeless," the filing states.
They claim Amanda was "extremely paranoid" about being "watched" when she lived in their residence, covering smoke alarms with towels, taping windows shut and covering her car's dashboard with cardboard and tape out of fear that "cameras were watching her."
Amanda also has profound body image issues, calls family members including her young niece "ugly" and may be submitting herself to dangerous cosmetic procedures, the parents claim.
According to the filing, Amanda has written $63,000 in checks since May 3 and made bank withdrawals of $100,000 on June 4 and July 2 to fund her drug dependency and erratic behavior.
"We have received large doctor bills for purported services to Amanda from doctors that we do not know for unspecified services," they say in the filing. "We are informed and believe that a substantial amount of this money is being used to pay for marijuana."
The parents claim Amanda had amassed $4 million in savings but has spent some $1.2 million in a "very short amount of time."
They are asking the court to give Lynn temporary control of Amanda's personal and financial matters, highlighting accounts that Amanda lit her pants on fire during the Monday night fire and injured her pet Pomeranian.
Judge Reiser said he didn't want to rush the issue.
He appointed Ventura County Public Defender Mary Shae as Amanda's lawyer and asked her to meet with the former Nickelodeon star and prepare a declaration.
"My assumption is that you would want an opportunity to speak to your client?" Reiser asked Shae
"Absolutely," Shae responded.
Reiser also ordered an independent investigator to prepare a report. He said he had "every expectation" that Amanda would make it to court with Shae after her release from Hillmont Psychiatric Hospital in Ventura
Lynn's lawyer Tamar Arminak said it was her understanding that Bynes had a habeas hearing at Hilltop set for Friday afternoon on the subject of her forced detention.
"So the situation might change?" Reiser asked.
"Drastically," Arminak said.
The judge said if Bynes is released before the end of her current two-week hold, either side could ask for an emergency hearing.
Arminak also said that Amanda's hospital did not allow her to give the former child star formal notice of the Friday hearing.
"The facility she is in monitors what goes in and out and they did not allow us to serve her," she said.
The judge asked Shae to help with matter or waive the requirement for five days of notice.
The judge also said Lynn Bynes also was obligated to serve all of Amanda's first and second degree relatives with her court filings.
"We'll have the luxury of two weeks in this case," Judge Reiser said.
The Friday hearing was mostly procedural and did not cover the purported mental health issues at the center of the case - in large due to laws protecting against the release of private health information in a public courtroom.
Sources told the Daily News Thursday that Amanda's doctors "need more time" to understand the nature of her illness.
Celebrity website TMZ.com cited unidentified sources in a report saying Amanda has exhibited signs of schizophrenia in recent days.
Lynn's petition for the temporary conservatorship did not indicate that a diagnosis of schizophrenia has been made, a source to the News.
The "Easy A" actress has been on a downward spiral since a DUI arrest in West Hollywood last year. She allegedly tossed a bong out of a 36th floor Manhattan apartment in May.
She was charged with reckless endangerment, attempted tampering with physical evidence and unlawful possession of marijuana.

LET ME OUT!!!
Amanda Bynes will not go down without a fight ... because her lawyer just filed legal docs asking for an emergency hearing to let her loose from the psych ward ... TMZ has learned.
Amanda's lawyer just filed a motion asking the judge to release her from the 2-week forced hospitalization a judge approved Thursday.
There will be a hearing before a judge at the psych ward today at 2PM PT, challenging yesterday's 2-week extension, and Amanda will be present.
Meanwhile Amanda's parents showed up in court this morning in their attempt to win a temporary conservatorship, but they got shut down -- at least temporarily.
The judge said there was no need to rush things because Amanda is already being held for 2 weeks.
The judge wants certain things to happen before he rules on a conservatorship:
-- He wants a one-on-one with Amanda.
-- He wants the lawyer he appointed to rep Amanda to interview her and then come up with a recommendation.
-- He wants to hear from Amanda's doctors.
-- He wants to see the police file on "the incident" -- sources have told us the incident in question is the driveway fire.
A hearing for the conservatorship was set for August 9.
