I was also given the number to something called the "Network of Care" and was told to leave a message requesting a team start a file for conservatorship - so if my sister does end up in the hospital, an advocacy team will help move things in the right direction.

Spoke to 911 for the fourth time today - this time to file a missing persons report. They are sending an officer back to my mom's place now. The dispatcher was surprised at what happened this morning & told me the officers should have arrived w/ a mental health professional.

UPDATE: An officer arrived to my mom's place to process the missing persons report... and on their way over, they spotted my sister standing on a corner a few blocks away just staring into space. I'm now home, but spoke to the officer over the phone and told him the situation...

I informed him that the first call I made I mentioned this had to do with someone mentally unwell. This officer was surprised to hear that a mental health evaluator was not dispatched with officers. He just called for one to come at 9:40pm. I first called police at 11:21am.

I am thankful this officer is treating my mother & the situation w/ the seriousness it deserves. My sister has been standing outside w/out food or water for nearly 10 hours. Now we must wait for the evaluator to come and determine whether she needs to be brought to the hospital.

UPDATE: The evaluator didn't come for some reason. The officer then offered to drive her to the hospital. She refused, so they left. She remains outside and will spend the night outside because no one can take her to the fucking hospital.

UPDATE: I received a call at 4:49am from UCLA ER. My sister apparently walked in saying she was having complications with a pregnancy. The hospital called me after she started telling them it was the government who impregnated her.

This has happened before, where she would be compliant to go to a hospital w/ us & then tell the ER nurse some bogus story about stomach cramps, MS, headaches - the pregnancy story is a new one. It’s as if deep down she knows she needs help, but for the life of her can’t admit it

Just found out my sister didn’t check herself in. My mom kept calling the 24hr psych line & eventually a paramedic drove to where my sister was still STANDING on the same corner @ 3am. She had urinated on herself so they brought her in. And then she told them the pregnancy story.

I’ve been following your story and wanted to say how sorry I am. Hopefully, this will spark a much needed change in how we deal with the mentally ill. We are failing them!
