I was falsely detained as gravely disabled in California, despite having a notable stellar non-criminal history and being a retired RN. The person who claimed I was gravely disabled has a criminal history, and her father is an undercover LAPD officer. I have been living in Thailand for nearly a decade, but my husband suggested I return to America to spend time with my son, leading to a heated debate and her lying to have me detained at Ventura Behavioral Health. My criminal record has nothing to do with her credibility. What legal actions can I take against this false detention and the defamation of my character?
