It has got nothing to do with treatments

It happens because the system allowed secrecy - if the court of protection had to act in public view these abuses would not happen because everyone would be able to see where people were being found incapable when that was not the case.

Ignore the troll Sphinx.

The Courts of Protection and the Family Courts should not be held in secret.   Their decisions can make for untold misery and they answer to no-one.

It is disgraceful that people have put in prison for taking their parents away from something hurting them - that people have been arrested for taking their parent for a day out, that a world class expert is rejected in favour of what seems little more than a lackey - the list goes on.
