How classy of her: circulating on the internet are Getty pics from the hearing... in some of them there are closeups of Lilo's well manicured nails... where a little message is written on her middle finger.

We already knew she was giving the justice system the proverbial middle finger/"f you" flipoff by the fact of not complying with the terms of her probation, but for her to walk into that courtroom with that written out on her nail: that is pretty darn bold and low. The girl is in need of a serious attitude adjustment.
She knew damn well her message on her middle finger would be seen by the media. I bet she even had someone tip them off to look closely at her fingernails.
She does need help. She has needed help for a long long time. However, the help she needs is not cushy or an overabundance of love, she needs to understand consequences to her actions and the fact the rules apply to her.
Then the dr's can move on to the deeper issues as to why the need to destroy herself. There are obviously very painful things going on in this young woman's psyche that need to be dealt with.
Since I am an official arm chair psychiatrist I will give you my diagnosis:
At a young age Lindsey must have known that her family's livelihood depended on her. That is a heavy duty responsibility to lay on a child.
Lindsey's mom is a "cool" mom. One that any teenage girl would love to have. Trouble is it appears that her mom made Lindsey her friend rather than her daughter.
They have been spotted at clubs together before Lindsey was old enough to drink among other things.
Lindsey's dad has served time in prison and has a broken relationship with her. He has been seen recently on many talk shows talking about how to save Lindsey and saying it is his ex wife that is the problem.
It is common sense to realize that a parent going on national TV and blaming the other parent for the child's trouble is a very bad idea and very damaging to the child.
Both parents share the blame for Lindsey.
HOWEVER, now that Lindsey is an adult she can't blame her parents, her upbringing, for her stupid mistakes. She needs to take control of her life and find out why she is so self destructive and she needs to take full responsibility for her actions.
Only then will Lindsey be well enough to function and have a normal life.
Next patient please.
