... I'm sorry, but I find some of the things people are saying here disgusting.1) she already said she has no real friends. Why on Earth would you tell her friends are sometimes closer than family?2) I think you guys are wrong. If they decide she's unstable and needs to be held for observation, it becomes their responsibility to find out where the child is. They have to, they can't just leave a kid who may or may not have someone looking after them alone for up to 72 hours. But whatever, I really hope you're right.3) It would be wonderful if there was always some help. But they have no magic pill. It's been my experience that their "help" does more harm than good. You're assuming these people can make her problems go away. Some people seem to appreciate the attention and all, but there's often no actual help there.4) With overdoses that happened hours prior, they often can't do anything except treat symptoms as they arise and hope the patient lives long enough for their kidneys and liver to remove the toxins from the blood. There isn't a magic antidote for every substance. She may end up sitting there hooked up to an IV, forced to stay for 72 hours, with her child taken away when she gets out, and no real help at all.... I'm sure you can figure out how I know this if you want to.
