Colorado DUers please help! A dear friend has been placed under guardianship

and has been moved into a nursing home against her wishes. And they've even obtained a restraining order against her dad, who is also her caregiver!

She is Autistic and nonverbal. In no way, shape or form is she incompetent, however; she holds a degree from DU (your DU ), for Chrissakes! How do we get her out of there?!

If not, get her one. Or a guardian ad litem.

I don't know where in California she is but here's the code. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=ccp&group=00001-01000&file=372-376

Sorry, Colorado. Looks like you can request to be one.
