I really hope she manages to get back on top of things again. It is very sad.
I understand she's no longer legally under her parents care and can, in terms of the law, do what she wants. But her Dad saying that they have had no contact with her in months and didn't even know where she was really bothered me. Especially when someone asked how him and Amanda's mother were doing and he said ''Well, we haven't heard anything. So we're fine.'' How the hell can any parent be 'fine' when they aren't in contact with their mentally ill daughter and she's just left wandering around by herself? I get that she's an adult and they can't force her to stay with them, but surely any parent would have tracked her down and at least be keeping a close eye on her even if she wants nothing to do with them?
They both seem to be in complete denial about Amanda's severe mental health issues. Maybe because they're embarrassed and want to pretend that their daughter is 'normal' or maybe because they're both ignorant with regards to mental illness. But either way, it's only serving to make things worse for their daughter. I don't believe in just shoving medication down people's throats, but I really think Amanda's condition can only be treated with meds and therapy.
How bad does she have to get (again!) before she gets placed in hospital (even if it's against her will?) It's very clear that she isn't well enough to take care of herself, and therefore poses a significant risk to herself. But that doesn't seem to be enough for medical professionals to intervene. Are they just going to sit back and wait until she kills herself (either intentionally or accidentally)? Because it really looks as though it's heading that way.
The way the press is reacting is absolutely disgusting. They seem genuinely thrilled that her mental health has deteriorated again, and are falling over themselves to get the latest 'hilarious' pictures/stories of Amanda acting erratically. It says a lot about how we, as a society, treat those with mental health issues. I despair, I really do.
I really hope Amanda gets the help she needs, I thought she seemed to be getting herself back on track again but obviously not
Amanda needs to help herself or something bad is going to happen before long .
There's an element of truth in that, but having read stuff about her past, they have exposed her to a sordid world from a very young age so actually need to accept some responsibility for her condition now.
She got help, what is needed is a minder who will stop her doing this sort of crap but I'm guessing she won't ask for one and her parents would rather keep going on holiday off the money they made as her agents before she became an adult than spend a penny on her. They've basically exploited her for all she was worth and now can't be bothered to do right by her.
What a load of rubbish , they have looked after her for months and was the ones who forced her to get treatment . It's only now the conservatorship is over it would seem she has gone backwards again .
She is nearly in her 30's so she is the one who needs to get help . The people around her can only do so much .
No. They exploited her when she was a child and now need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Oh , so you are know them personally ?
Nobody can force a child to do anything . Amanda loved what she was doing and hence she had more than one successful show .
And as far as I am aware loads of children actors out there and none ended mentally ill like she did . Clearly she had something wrong with her when she was born and it does not matter what she did it was a ticking time bomb .
People with mental problems that cause them to try randomly wander around airports talking to themselves are probably not of the mindset they need help. Unsound minds don't tend to make sound judgements. Should dementia patients be ignored and expected to seek treatment because they have plenty of experience of being adults? The mentally ill need to be taken care of, not expected to be self sufficient and seek help when their mental abilities are suffering. They didn't force her to get treatment, the state put her under a 5150 order and made them take responsibility as her senior next of kin. So, you might want to get your claims correct.
No. Do you.
& your point about forcing children to do anything is cutely naive at best and dangerously ill advised at worst.
& if she did have something wrong with her at birth, does that make her parents completely void of responsibility
If she hated it she would of quit acting when she came of age , loads of Hollywood kids have walked away in favour of education as it was something they liked as kids and grew out of it .
I Am not the one the one pretending to know the family . All my stuff comes from growing up watching her on Nick and watching interviews . She never came across as she was being forced to do it and she loved it .
Unlike the Sprouse twins who have openly said they did it for money and are now set for life because of acting when they was younger .

Have you ever heard of grooming and conditioning? If you are nurtured, supported and pushed into doing something from a young age with the safety net and guidance of your parents who praise you and whom you want to make proud, when that support structure goes away and once you realise they were using you, I am sure that can be extremely distressing and cause people to act against all expectations that as an adult they realise were unfair and unreasonable for a child to go through. The Olsen Twins don't act anymore either. You are aware what media training is, right? You realise Nickelodeon/Viacom are huge and have far more money in their resources than any of their performers? If she had spoken out, she'd have lost her show, been blackballed from the industry and most likely wouldn't have went home to happy parents seeing as how she was the main breadwinner for them for a long time. She could also have been sued for violating the terms of her contract.
Has she quit acting now? Sure looks like it, she stated she didn't like it or enjoy it back in June 2010.
So, got anything more to back up your claims aside from acting and media trained appearances to promote projects while under contract to do so?
Have you as you have no idea any of that happened?!
She has two other sisters who if the parents where such monsters then you would of thought they would of forced them into hollywood as well.
