also, if shes been institionalized, and found to be a danger, (which she is) then she can be put in a higher security facility. sounds like it needs to happen. yeah, it takes time, and yeah, theres a danger until its done, but there are some other steps too. perhaps staying at a hotel on the opposite side of town for a week or so while things get done. you want to avoid a firefight, and with the belief that he can take her down without killing her, your father WILL be less likely to strive to avoid it. it sucks to say it, but 99 times out of 100, its true.
