Day thirteen: the phone rang, no one answered
Thirteen days after the involuntary admission, a call to the facility went unanswered for nearly two minutes. There was no contact with Trudy today.
Today is day thirteen. Trudy is still in the closed facility in Amsterdam.
A call that went unanswered
This evening, at around 9:00 PM, her son tried to reach her through the facility. The phone rang without interruption for nearly two minutes. No one answered; there was no transfer and no voicemail. After about two minutes the attempt was ended.
All contact with Trudy runs through the facility. Anyone who wants to speak with her depends on it. This evening, that produced nothing.
No further news today
No emails or other messages came in today. All previous updates remain unchanged: the court order and the medical certificate have still not been provided to Trudy or to her family.
Many people follow these updates to hear how Trudy is doing. Today there is no answer to give. Another attempt will be made — during the day, when the switchboard is staffed.
Her birthday is in six days.
